Has it ever crossed your mind that you may be the "Jonah" It was after
I invited you up to Bellingham that I lost the thrust bearing on
"Pnuema's" shaft.

Hi, Ol Thom,

Don't think I haven't thought that! We evacuated to Houston for
Katrina. So what happened then? Rita took aim for that area. By that
time, however, we were back in New Orleans. Then, after we sailed to
Florida and were down at the Dry Tortugas, freaking Wilma took a U-turn
from her original Westward heading and took aim for Florida. Ack!

And aside from you and your thrust bearing, I was gonna crew for
someone with a Freedom 38 in a local race series this past Summer; but
her entire electrical system fried just before the series started!

Eek!
