Sorry, Skippy but SOMETHING had to be done to troll you up. These people
were having Skippy withdrawal symptoms and some were extremely worried about
your well being having not heard word one from you in months. How dare you
so abuse your loving audience?

Be sure to work you way up to the Abacos in time for Regatta time there.
Don't miss it.

Wilbur Hubbard


LOL :{)) No need to apologize...

We'll be in the Exumas; likely we won't get to do Regatta time this time
around, at least not in the Abacos.

As to trolling me up, I was incommunicado, not hiding or otherwise, and
didn't even see the post for quite some time after I'd made mine. However,
I do apologize for the long silence. I know you are well aware that's not
my style :{))


Lydia has something to say to you, btw...

Hi, Wilbur (you old ratbag, you) -

We're going to be back in the States for the month of May to OD on children
and grandchildren (or, at least *I* am - Skip may be busy working on a
friend's boat in SSI) and then we're off again around the beginning of July.

I'm trying to encourage Skip to consider going back to the Abacos for the
summer. Why don't you *seriously* consider joining us? Bring your meds and
your cranky old self and give us a tour of all your favorite haunts. We'll
have mom off the boat by then, and there will be a lovely V-berth begging
for a body, and your own loo. Honestly - we'd love to have you aboard for
shorter or longer, which ever you like.

OK - that's it from the admiral - let us know!

Love, Lydia

"And then again, when you sit at the helm of your little ship on a clear
night, and gaze at the countless stars overhead, and realize that you are
quite alone on a wide, wide sea, it is apt to occur to you that in the
general scheme of things you are merely an insignificant speck on the
surface of the ocean; and are not nearly so important or as self-sufficient
as you thought you were. Which is an exceedingly wholesome thought, and one
that may effect a permanent change in your deportment that will be greatly
appreciated by your friends."- James S. Pitkin
