Hey Tom,

...but I'll bet you're right, he lifts that ghastly piece of crap off that thing when he reaches the each terminus of his trip, pops the mast back on, and starts pretending he's a cruising sailor... (grin)

Damn, this gives me an idea for business venture... Namely, trucking masts up and down the East coast, just like many cruisers do for the European canals... It would eliminate all hassles with bridges, sounds like the Kroozing Snowbird's Dream Come True...

Hmmm, perhaps I'll have to confer with bernie on this one, could be a nice little adjunct service offered by Rogue Wave... (grin)

One thing that boat really needs to complete the picture, however, is a nice little stern arch...

best regards,

Jon
