Damned shame too. I guess it's true... The Vandals always win. |

Cheers Martin I'm about 30 miles north of Green Bay, Wisconsin ("Happy cows come from California; Ecstatic cows live in Wisconsin"). My boat is on the hard in Marinette, Wisconsin, on the Marinette River just across the bridge from Menominee, Michigan. Ice usually breaks-up in early to mid April, but it may be a little late this year what with all the global warming bringing us sub-zero temps. But it's only mid-January, we could always have an early spring anyway. |

Plus, Long Beach (and San Pedro, where I am) is more advantageous for cruising the offshore islands. But San Diego harbor is a very interesting place, and near by Mission Bay is also fun. --Alan |
