Doug,

The Crapton (Neal) was all those thing you've said BUT by God you
remembered them.

The group is pretty much a creation of his and without him we' re
struggling for a personality.

Michael seem to like Bart's way, I've kind of been following your lead.
Nutsy gets to much, "I am" into his style. We are in a state of change
right now. I'm hoping that after the Nov elections we will settle down
and re-develop a Style.

I have great faith in the un-monitored formate and a loose leadership,
with a sense of humor is needed.

Let's face it, we are a group of sailors in a Bull Session as in a Bar.
What we need is a Bartender as a leader

I'm sorry, but this can't be accurate. Well, maybe it is... I mean
I just can't picture Bart holding his finger in a dyke.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out, but feel free to come back
any time you feel up to it.

Some yes indeed do. Yet this is a very important election. Even the
wise ol thom who is best at holding his tounge has put his 2 cents in
the discussions.

Have you forgotten how Capt Neal... thru his great nautical skills
single took credit for swinging Floridas vote. He carried on for
months touting W.

PLEASE..Between Bush and the Unibombers worship.. disquised and
sailing threads Neal would have been invisiable.

Bart does a good job of holding his finger in
the dike but I fear the dike has ceased to exist around his finger.

Well the election will be over soon..Bush will be President...and we
can all get back to the serious world of Sailing.

Your talking bout Bob right?

I've often wondered where he went. I guess his work here was done.

You needn't go all snotty, Scotty,
Sneering at the taddypole,
Landlocked in his lowly pond,
Just the ocean shore patrol...
Little wonder, now and then,
He poses as a cockerel--
That sure as hell beats wasting time
In reading Scotty doggerel.
