"And then again, when you sit at the helm of your little ship on a
clear night, and gaze at the countless stars overhead, and realize
that you are quite alone on a great, wide sea, it is apt to occur to
you that in the general scheme of things you are merely an
insignificant speck on the surface of the ocean; and are not nearly
so important or as self-sufficient as you thought you were. Which is
an exceedingly wholesome thought, and one that may effect a
permanent change in your deportment that will be greatly appreciated
by your friends." - James S. Pitkin

No, sorry, Skip...I saw your message yesterday but was consumed with
work and retrieving engine spares from my boat...I have finally
enlisted some help on that front as I don't seem to have the time to
finish the rebuild personally...paint the block, swap out gears,
etc...

E-mail me offlist please at mdacey AT darkstar dot ca , and I will
learn of this "Shiloh" (isn't that a Civil War battlefield?)

I remember being pooped in a Hinckley B40 in what I considered to be
marginal seas, such as 1 to 3 feet, with an occasional 4 footer rolling in
due to weather or heavy traffic. Would never have happen on my boat, which
had a somewhat higher freeboard than the Hinckley.
