Bob,

Doing my best to rush "someday", but It's going to be a bit yet. This is the
getting ready stage. I read about people that take 5 to 7 years to get from
the "planning" to the "actually leaving" stage. Hopefully I won't be that
slow. :-)

I have that book coming. Will add it to my already extensive and still
growing cruising library. The fellow who wrote that book still lives on his
Flicka and I think is a marina manager or some such, down in California some
place. He is a regular on the Flicka list at Yahoo.

Rik
