Bummer for you righties! I've just confirmed I'm headed off to S.
America then Italy in a couple of weeks. Don't worry though... it'll
only be for three weeks... business and some pleasure. And, yes Wayne,
we'll be looking at some sailboats in Italy.

What will you boys do without me?! The horror, the horror...

Sure hope you find a sailboat you like!

We won't be buying one there, but ideas don't require import duties.

You could hire a reliable skipper and sail it back...... although I'd
wait until hurricane season ends on Nov 01.
My buddy in the BVI has made a number of deliveries to Europe.

We have two totally qualified people in our little band. However,
that's not in the cards. I think we'd all rather buy something locally
(at least in the US/Canada).
