Robert, Annie is fine and we are enjoying 3 months off the boat for the hot stormy Mexican summer. We are currently finishing a week in London and are heading to Portsmouth tomorrow to tour HMS Victory. We were in Boston aboard USS Constituton early last week and I am excited to compare a ship of the line with a heavy frigate. Trying to go to weather in a fully loaded cruising sailboat is hard enough for me, I can't imagine doing it in a square rigger.
Regards
Tom
