Jl,
You aren't correct on all counts.
Nutsy was here before Neal almost one boat ahead of Neal. He had a Cat27
named Yoda. there was Larry the Lawn Cutter and Gordon with the Mac24.
Katy was early and myself. That was 1996. Haggy was in there some place,
Scot, Tad Paul, Yourself (Off & On), Mike, Michael, Lady Sail and
others. This was when Joe arrived

Paul set-up; "The Voyage of the Pau" Neal was invited but Poo Poo the
whole idea.
It was an extremely successful idea. We grew close. We became SHIPMATES!

It was during this period that Neal took Bobsprit (Nutsy) under his
wing. Rather reluctantly but didn't have much choice.

The group and Neal never were the same after that. He attack each &
every one that was part of the virtual voyage. The strange thing that
happened was he couldn't attack singularly. He was attacking a Shipmate.
He had lost his control.

That was when Nutsy developed his character of the :"Kick Me" himself
against the group.

That JL, is my memory of ASA over the early years. After Neal got Shack
up with LP is another chapter. A very sad bitter chapter and on going.


Thanks, you refreshed my memory. I had forgotten the Voyage. I was out of
town working during those weeks and didn't participate. I really enjoyed
the group in those days. I was sailing a bit and having fun. Trip down
