Stan,
On Sunday afternoon, I took Harrison with his wife out for a 2
hour sail on Lake Hartwell. I had thought that by now we might have
heard something from him. I guess the silence means the same that
silence from his wife means she doesn't approve.
He was an experienced sailor, and I suspect really wants a
racing boat. He kept commenting on how noisy my boat sailed. When we
would catch a good wind and moved along, my boat gurgles with
excitement. He kept looking by the tiller trying to find the source of
the gurgles. And he kept wanting to make the boat heel.
Now if you had equipped Rummy with your new prototype main sail
and Rummy's proclivity for X-sailing, he might have been a happy camper.

Ed let the cat out of the bag. Damn him. It is true. We are the only
boat
builder building used boats.
