Thanks for the update. If all this gets him to actually go out and sail
his boat, think what a favor this newsgroup will have done for him!
Never before maybe will the Internet actually have been so instrumental
in turning someone into a sailor and assisting them on their way.

Have you considered what a video of him leaving, raising the anchors,
hoisting sails, and getting under way would be worth? You get the video,
I'll pay $20 bucks for a copy. If he can't do it smoothly and
professionally after all the crap we've endured here, every flub and
snarl will be priceless.

If nothing else, this fellow could still end up having a life afloat.
Even if his boat handling is amaturish, he'll be doing it and learning
just like the rest of us had to do. If he does it smoothly in a way that
would make any of us proud, then we'll all have learned something.

Anybody else in? Hey, let's make it worth Ron's while to keep watch.

Fair winds Cecil.

You make a good case, Roger. Okay, I'm in for a copy at $20. Talk about
"One for the archives."

Since I'm a liberal, I'm in for $20 also. In fact, I'll double it and donate
the second $20 to charity.

Interesting that Roger left here complaining bitterly about all the
"childish nonsense". Now look at him. Playing with Neal's mugshots and
posting them.
