Hey Capt. Rob! Have you any insurance on your new boat? Better get it
outta Tampa before this week-end. Looks like Wilma might pay a
visit to the Florida west coast.

| Ugh ......... we don't know that. What rig is in the boat? What keel?

| Tall rig with wing, currently rated 120 in his area. Most tall rigs had

| under 10K (genoa, jib and main) in 2003. The dacron stuff aboard is
| also in very good shape and the spin is new. Sorry, Loco. She's going
| to be a lot of fun. And boat for boat I'll pass any Depress 30 of
| course! Then, back at the slip I'll flip on the theatre system, emjoy
| the cool AC and watch the sun go down...on the 20 inch LCD TV!!! Good
| times for us and of course we could care less about racing...just out
| for some fun sailing on a comfortable boat...with a swim platform, huge
| cockpit and beautiful interior! Fun, fun, fun!
| And it's KILLING YOU!!!! I think it already knocked a few years off
| Scotty's sad life. Good night, sad little boy with the sad little 30
