Hi,

I just wanted to share my news. I've booked a flight to New Orleans for
Memorial Day weekend through June 7th to shop for a new (used) boat for
our family cruise. I'll mostly be shopping in the New Orleans area; but
there are two boats I want to see near St. Petersburg, Fl. So I'll be
taking a quick drive there.

Top contenders based on yachtworld.com and e-mails are a Freedom 32 and
a C&C 39, a couple of examples of each to look at. If none of those
pans out, it'll probably wind up being a generic mid-30-foot
Catalina/Hunter/Beneteau/whatever.

I'll give y'all a trip report when I return.

I'm excited!

Frank
