Hey Dave,

Hell, it was right up there with the guided tour bernie gave me of his Valiant (grin)...a magnificent job you've done with ELYSIUM, best of luck with her, and I hope to bump into you again somewhere on down the road...

As always, bernie's hospitality brought a lot of people together again. I was amazed, at the Valiant party Friday night, how many people I ran into that I'd met out cruising before... and at the Rogue Wave party Saturday, one of the nicest surprises was seeing one of the original CWBB posters from the old days - Donna, who sails the beautiful Tartan 34 SIN SAL out of Ohio...

Thanks again, bernie - wonderful weekend, and the Annapolis harbor tour in the Glamour Girl Sunday morning was the perfect finish...

best regards,

Jon
