Hi Rick: Thanks for your kind words. It is supposed to take about 3 months
to recuperate from the operation and get the strength back. I am looking
forward to a good boating season, next year, as soon as the "hard" water is
gone.

Good luck and a speedy recovery with that fancy new hip of yours. My
father-in-law got one a while back and soundly trounced me on the golf
course last summer.
