It sure would save me time going back and forth twice to the airport. In exchange I've offered to get you guys a room while you're here so you can have all the luxuries you're used to and a safe place for your luggage. Sounds like a deal to me. ;-) snippage Yup, land lubbers are mostly what one sees these days out here on the water. They are like cockroaches - you can't stamp them out. I just wish they would stay ashore where they belong. They have no respect for anything. They use the water as their 'getaway' and they think their 'fun' comes first over the RIGHTS of others. Such a selfish attitude and totally out of place on the water. Here is a good example for you of just how awful some of these jerks really are. Two fishermen were arrested a few months ago for cutting the pouch of a couple of pelicans because they claimed the pelicans were eating *their* fish. Duh. I would say the fishermen where catching and eating the pelican's fish. A cut pouch causes the pelican to slowly starve to death because when they dive on a fish the pouch doesn't contain it. The fish escapes out the slit in the pouch. Maybe the fishermen are the ones who needed their throats cut. I don't see how anyone could be so cruel. That's really a sad story. Some humans are, I swear, sub-human. Even the animals they abuse are more evolved. |

You posted that little tirade as response to the wrong message. Do try to read before writing in the future. Cheers, Bruce |
