Nutsy,

Starting to get pretty cold in the "Big Apple? Little Neck Bay is a good
basin for racing regattas. I can remember, 40 yrs ago, trying to get
across it and staying out of the racing fleets. Just about impossible.
Turning away from one would put you in the middle of another one.

Should be getting close to the "Last Cance Regattas" about now, isn't
it?

You'll soon have to be reporting on the Voyagers of the Rubber Ducky in
the bath tub.

We are in a cold spell out here right now. Temperature in the twenties.
I set-up the Electric Heater on the boat, in the slip the other day.
Came homes from a few days in the San Juan Islands and Dog and I had to
motor sail, to get heat from the Red Dot heater. Had more than enough
wind but it was cold. Predictions of the first snow for today. So
Battened down "Pneuma" until the milder weather comes back.
