    Season's Greetings Robert,
RK> Well.  this is it took the stick off today :-(  How you doin' out there,
RK> managed to get into any mischief ?
   ------------------
         What!?  Already!?  My season just started :^)  I took a newish C&C
27 out today for a nice long sail.  The weather forcast was calling for
gale force winds so I thought I'd single hand :^)  Lots of fun, but I only
did 6 knots (the gale didn't show :^(  I got tired of waiting for a
stinkin' bank to give me money for a decent boat, so I decided to charter
instead :^)  I joined a charter club that gives me unlimited sailing for a
nominal monthly fee (less than the cost of moorage!!)  Not a bad deal, I'd
say :^)  As soon as the ""windy season" gets here I'm taking off for a
weekend through the islands - I don't know which ones yet, but there are
lots of them around so I shouldn't have too much trouble finding a couple

RK> Am aroung for a few weeks then the heavy travel starts.  Any luck with a
RK> vessel ?  I see in this month Canadain Yachting that the Jenneau is
RK> still listed.  Has the other deal fallen through.  Drop me a note an let
RK> me know how you're doing
   ---------------------
      Not yet.  I was close, but the bank managed to find a last minute
snag (like I switched employers!) so now I'm in search of another bank!
Definitely *very* odd that the Jeanneau is still up for grabs!  Sure she
needs work desperately, but it's an overall good sound boat.  I guess poor
Tom will end up keeping her for the winter... I may give him a call in the
spring 
  I started working at Queenship Yachts this week.  Not a bad place but
it's a long drive - 50km each way.  Fortunately, I don't have to deal with
rush hour.  Unfortunately, I start at 6:00 each day!  I don't know what's
happening in Toronto, but on Nov 12th on the Knowledge Network, there's a
documentary showing here on BC super yacht builders - I've worked for most
of them!   The show's at 21:00 (pst) and I'm trying to find someone
around here with a vcr and cable.  I've got a month to do it so I should be
okay :^)
  TTYL
     Cheers,
