Also did some instructing (DGYC uses more the British style competent
crew/competent skipper etc. system which is far more demanding than the US
ASA training so I had to dial up quite a bit. Michael

Michael here is the picture of me on the landing:

Thats me on the right, note the ladies laying around on the landing.
In the background is the area were the yacht club is now located. It
was pristine back in 1980.

Do you have any recent pictures of the isle you can post?

Truth to tell I'm old enough to be his big brother. And if you believe that
I've got a lot of sea stories!

Hugs Katy!

Welcome home, Schoonertrash!


.... I think playing catch up was the most important
thing. You can't regain the lost time but I did regain a lot of the lost
money simply by filing a set of 1099 forms for the last two years. IRS for
once was quite nice about it and no fines for late filing from 2002.

Good. Sounds like you connected with one of the human beings who work
there. They say there's at least one in every crowd...


... The
one and only thing that still hangs and will probably keep doing so is
wondering when some shoe will drop. Security investigations aside (and all
positive) there's no telling what little surprises await but what the hell!
Life goes on. Biggest lesson learned . ..don't let anyone no matter how
close get ahold of your identity. You just don't know.

Sounds like you have a little pilot fish to shake off. One of my
coworkers suffered ID theft a while back. It was terrible. It's a shame
you can't simply hunt them down and kill them, wouldn't that legally be
considered suicide? Anyway there is clearly not enough deterrent.



Don't know how many of you caught it but my first published article is in
the middle of Lats and Atts current issue, look for the pictures of the
freighters!

Congrats! I will go out and look for it, I usually don't read this mag.


... the future looks so good I gotta wear shades!

Glad to hear it. Don't forget the sunscreen too. Tell more about your
boat & it's status & rigging project & puttering around the SJIs.
