Dear Cindy,

Love ya! and thanks to all for the great efforts.. you may have little idea
how important this group is to some of us - we may not post often, but we
read and we learn and most of all we have fun.. which is just about what
sailing is to me...

..... and a long time ago I learned not to second guess the miracle - if
someone is doing something and I do not have the time, inclination or
ability to work along side, appreciation and a work with attitude seems to
do the trick.

I love my baba.... and you guys too...
