Last time I was very active I had just sent you a boat. *I hope it
didn't sink or anything when you put it together, or, if it did you
were shallow water at least. *Is that thing still floating or has it
gone to that great boatyard in the sky?

Hey Galen:
Nope, last I checked it was still floating high and dry. The intent
was to bring it to Hong Kong with me, but once I got here I discovered
that what sells as an apartment here would be considered a large
closet in the states, so its still sitting in my storage shed in
Maine. I take it out each time I'm home in the summer, and I love to
tell folks how someone I met on the internet gave it to me (I get a
lot of amazed stares for that g). I'm starting to seriously consider
having it shipped here and storing it at the school so I can go paddle
after work. Age, rust and lethargy are catching up with me, and I need
an outlet. If I get over my inane fear of sitting in closed cockpit
boats (Wilko can tell you about that), then I'd want to take the
'Galen' out in the open water around the islands here.

Thanks again for the boat! :-)
