Well, thanks for being there Gary and June. You've been great in
answering all of our questions, which coming from the 'mate' being a
former insurance underwriter, were not just run of the mill.

You obviously know your business well and what's just as important to
us, you know boats. We've run the gamut of marine insurance brokers
who can't seem to get across to companies that there are in fact 28
foot boats worth well over $100K and quite capable of crossing oceans.

When we first arrived back in the states after a two year engineless
passage from San Francisco to Florda throught the Panama Canal, one
company at first said we would need more crew than two and have to
'buddy boat' if we wanted to go to the Bahamas from Miami. When they
found out our boat was only 28 feet they refused coverage on all
accounts because 'boats that small can't make that trip'.

Thanks again for your very professional efforts,


Paul Martin
