Jay,
Ha ha ha.....Yeah gracious,......that's what they call that huh???
Oh heck, who's worried about a few boat logos and stuff on a sail. Those can
be easily covered with some safety orange spray paint.......buck 99 a
can.....or maybe a big Harley Davidson patch...........no problem at all.
Either should go very well with my 3 tone green sail.
Seriously though, glad to hear your trip home went well. It seemed
unfortunate at the time that you had to leave early, but looking back now,
the way the weather went.....it was probably a good thing you did. Hope you
are able to come back next year. You fit in quite well...........for a guy
from New Joisey. (sp) :-) I know Elton was glad to have the help. Maybe you
want to consider trailering over to Kentucky next fall too.
Did you ever get a chance to do any shopping??? If not, that's probably for
the best too, I bought enough junk for both of us. :-)
Rik
