Dear Group,

I don't know if you realize it but Homestead.com is no longer free.
I have to pay ninety bucks a year to finance my website from which
you all derive much pleasure and even more required education.

I was hoping at least a few of you would be so kind to contribute
financially to what has become one of the greatest sailing resources
on the Internet. With this in mind I intend to set up a webpage on my
site that will accept your credit cards and PayPal numbers. Since
it costs extra to make such a page please indicate if you are willing
to contribute to a good cause so I can get some indication of whether
or not it would be cost effective.

Thanks for you time and generosity.

S.Simon - living on a fixed income.
