You should seriously consider hiring a bag pipe player for the
ceremony.

And don't blab to too many people what you're doing, there's a lot of
snitches around.

Hey first I would like to thank "J" for his kind thoughts. I looked

@
http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq85-1.htm and I gleaned a couple

of
ideas, but I'm thinking of something less formal. He/we are very

free
spirts and don't do conformity very well. I would like to run up the
skull and crossbones, but I havn't run it by his wife yet. I know he
would appreciate it. as for legal.. Basically we are in rural SC on
the ocean, I can sail all day without seeing another boat. Due to

the
remoteness where it happened (@13,000 'in Mexico} the red tape

etc..
We do not expect this to happen until mid next week. So any other
ideas will be well appreciated..

Good Sailng
Glen

I need some help. A very good friend of mine just died. He and his
wife loved to sail with us. She called and told me she would like

to
have Steve's ashes thrown overboard into the sound. Since the boat

is
not very big (25') we plan on having the bulk of the memorial party

on
shore at our house. What is the "proper" way to set the boat up..ie
flags, bunting,etc. He died in Mexico so it will be a few days

before
his ashes return here. Any suggestion will be appreciated.
