The EL Lago Marina was one of the worst wiped out, sadly Silvers wife
could not handle the pressure.

Hi Joe,


Things are pretty good here for the most part. No real big unemployment
problems since most of those who lost their jobs went back to Mexico. A
good number of foreclosures on houses but the small investor is locked
out because lenders have a limit on the number of houses you can have
mortgaged. Gas is under $2.00, food and ammunition prices are dropping
so it's not all gloom and doom. I plan on getting down your way in a few
weeks to see my old yacht, its new owner and sniff around for another
fine addition to the fleet.


I hope you are getting a new RedCloud II going, it's people like you
that make America great - independent, self reliant people that never
give up on their vision.


Partially true but a vision will not be realized without hard work and
competent action. Although Joe has demonstrated he does not fear hard
work it is the competence angle upon which he has yet to get a firm grip.

Right you are Wilbur and there's also luck, both good and bad. I believe
Joe has all it takes and more to be successful.


Perhaps, but only time will tell.

What concerns me is he's too full of pride. I have yet to read where he
admits he screwed up royally in losing Red Cloud unnecessarily. I fear that
until and unless he steps back and takes a realistic appraisal of the whys
and wherefores he's doomed to continue his "bad luck." Part of being a man
is to admit one's mistakes and not continue to always blame them on fate or
bad luck. *Until one can admit a mistake one will never be able to correct a
mistake or forestall the same thing happening in the future.
