Greetings Struther,
SM> The thought of you sitting beside me in ANYTHING causes shivers.....
-----
      It just may happen Struther, it just may happen .  You can at
least rest assured that you do have time to sound proof your yacht, buy
heavy burlap curtains for her, and paint "Gone Fishin" on the side of her
hull!   I'll try not to run my still unless the wind is blowing opposite
your direction.
--------------------
SM> Oooh, silly me!  You're absolutely right (this -and only - time), I'd
SM> completely forgotten about the Toyota Crown!
----
    Huh!?  You've actually heard of the Toyota Crown?  I'm beginning to
wonder if your article in The National with "Aug. 25, 1926" is actually
true!  (BTW... nice article Struther) 
--------------------
SM> Phew!.. until I got to the end of that sentence I was starting to be
SM> concerned you might actually decide to move back here!... scary thought!
---
  Fat chance.  Summer is too humid, winter is too cold, spring comes too
late, and autumn is too brief.
--------------------
SM> I was referring to the fact that EVERY boat has SOME sort of comprimise
SM> in its' design... and that no matter what boat you end up getting
SM> there'll likely be something that you would have liked to have seen done
SM> differently

     Yes, well, I have thought about it and decided that a Swan is THE
perfect boat for me.  I know the "ideal" Swan is about 5 years or so away,
but for now, a smaller one with a cannon on the bow for looting on the high
seas will do fine.  So now comes the aggrevating part... finding out how
much duty I have to pay to bring a Finnish boat into Canada from the
States!  I understand Lee Lester had a real tough time with customs - and
that was to bring in a Canadian built boat!!
     Cheers,
             Augustin~~~===
