[Rhodes22-list] Re ply to Robert about Maine

[Robert Skinner]

Ed - since it reached 80 F. here yesterday, I 
may be sailing a bit longer.  Global warming 
has considerably extended the season here.

As to hucksterism (long spelling), I was never 
really good as a carney barker, and haven't 
taken it up in my retirement.
