  First, how fast could the trip be made without sight seeing?  Second,
could you make the trip be made under sail or without a motor.  And, what
ever happened to you drinking buddy, Steve M?

Ed K
Greenville, SC, USA

To the question, "When were your spirits at their lowest ebb?"  Captain
Rummy said when the rum ran out...
