Hi Mark,

Thanks for the compliment, but after Sandy put my house and car underwater, I've got priorities other than cruising at the moment... (grin)

I probably wasn't gonna make it down south this winter, anyway. I'm hoping to do a major trip north next summer, so I likely would have put all my eggs in that basket, instead. Depending on this winter's weather, and my progress getting the heat restored to my house, etc, I might try to get away for a few weeks on my boat, probably down to the Chesapeake, maybe the NC Sounds, just to get away from the worst of the winter weather... I've been crazy busy with deliveries lately, but will finally be back home again sometime next week...

I may have another delivery or two this winter, that might take me south for a bit, anyway...

So, I can't complain about not making it back to the Bahamas this year... All in all, I still have lots less to deal with than some folks along the Jersey shore...

best regards,

Jon
