Oh Ian it does sound as if PAtience has the familiar aroma of an old
clipper...maybe just the aroma of Indias best is missing...I feel you
might not have been at home on Solitaire and been banished to the aft
deck to act as BAr B que chef No 1. Certainly wouldn t have been
allowed in the saloon with the well used pipe !!!!!!!

Hi, Peggie,

I just ordered my copy - do I recall correctly that you've moved off the
lake?

"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

Hi Peggie: Where can I buy your book, in Ontario, Canada?

It's been out such a short time that it's not in any boat stores
yet...but you can order it directly from the publisher (see the link in
my sig below) or, if you'd like a signed copy, from
http://shop.sailboatowners.com/detai...=400&group=327

Postage to Canada isn't that bad...only about double the US rate and
books don't have to have a customs declaration.

Thanks for asking!

Yep...I moved to Little Rock in Oct of '01 to be a good idea to be a bit
closer than 500 miles to my (now) 88 yr old dad. No, I didn't move in
with him--the only person who'd have hated that more than me is him! I
bought a house exactly 4 miles from him. I'm also boatless for the
duration. The only places I'd have wanted to put Solitaire are more than
2 hours away...I wouldn't be able to use to her enough to keep all the
work I put into her from deteriorating. So, to borrow a line from
Tennessee Williams, I'm "dependent on the kindness of strangers" to
spend any time on the water.

Email address is btw...
