Greetings Struther,
   ---------------------
SM>         Actually - I don't want to say too much on the board, but I
SM>         almost think Augustin is lying low because he "didn't" get the
SM>         financing; this bit of news from the guy he bought it from, and
SM>         this bit of news coming late last week.
     -----------------------
               Hey!  Wad ya mean!?  What news are ya talkin' about?
Jingles is still for sale ain't she?  I still have first dibs on her don't
I?  C'mon, spill the beans. 
SM>         The boat is tied up at a dock at NYC... the previous (present)
SM>         owner had it in Cobourg and brought it down here two weeks ago;
SM>         created a helluva stink!... guy just leaving a boat at a yacht
SM>         club as though it were a marina!... who's gonna pay for this?
     -----------------------
               That was pretty slick wasn't it?  Jingles is at Outer
Harbour but don't tell anyone 
SM>         At the moment, I don't honestly even know if Jingles is still at
SM>         NYC or not - only thing I "DO" know is that Augustin has been
SM>         VERY quiet the past couple of weeks.
      ----------------------
              'Course I've been quiet!  I've been training for the big
triathlon this past weekend in North Vancouver.  My right leg was injured
going into the compitition and I was advised not to participate, but being
the true trooper that I am, I was there and finished with a time of 1:20
plus a few seconds - not too shabby.  I swam with only one leg (had a
pulled muscle insert), biked up and down those hills, and ran (hopped)
while ignoring the pain the whole way.  I felt just like Bobby Baun when he
played with a broken leg to win the Stanley Cup for the Leafs - except I
didn't get a trophy... this time, but there will be others and I'll be
healthy and ready!  There's a couple happening in Victoria and I expect to
sail there on Jingles!
SM>         He was so excited about it that, if it falls apart on something
SM>         as silly as money, I really feel sorry for him... but then, it's
SM>         not the end of the world and there are ALWAYS other boats and
SM>         other banks who want to lend money for profit!
      --------------------
          Ya, I'd feel sorry for me too.  But you're wrong - there will
never be another boat, not like Jingles, not ever!
     Cheers,
             Augustin~~~===
