Hi Max,

Funny, when Eric put out his call for crew for this voyage, I was actually thinking about putting my name in for consideration... Fortunately, the timing just wouldn't have been right, for me...

Eric certainly seems to be ageless, but it sounds as if FIONA might be getting a bit long in the tooth... (grin)

And, reading stories like this, reminds me how much I love the simplicity of my tiller...

best regards,

Jon
