 GC>(stationed at NAS Brunswick).  This is a spectacular part of the country.

I'm green with envy!!  I'm in a sailing mecca, yet I have yet to step foot on 
a boat since I've been here.  Mecca doesn't stay too long, though.  The 
winter is hellish (and long)...
 GD> pick...). Where's NAS Brunswick?  As for spectacular, you should
 GD> get up here sometime.... :)
Mid-coastal Maine.  We're about 35 minutes north of Portland, and about 2 
hours south of Bangor.  I *SHALL* get to Canada before I leave here in 
December 1999.  I don't think I'll be visiting BC anytime soon, though.  It's 
clear across the continent !!  I intend to do Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, 
PEI, etc.
 GD> We've lost many of the old-timer's over the years.  I guess the
 GD> Internet hype caught them.
Yeah, I suppose.  It's ashame, too.  I surf the web, but I'm not obsessed 
with it as most of North America (and the world for that matter) appears to 
be.  It appears FidoNet is hanging-tough.
 GD> Who's Ugly Al?
Al Thorley.  Last I heard he was living in North Carolina.  I suppose I could 
look-up his name in the nodelist.  I remember talking to him about 
land-locked sailing (I was stationed in Dallas, TX at the time).

Is the S2S network still running?  I have contemplated joining, but I already 
have far too many irons in the fire.  SailNet is now dead.  I see there's an 
internet version of SailNet (sailnet.com), but I haven't visited it.
