What did these sailors do wrong?
 
[I have a ham radio friend, Werner, from Berner Oberland, Steffisburg
actually, Switzerland. He's 83. At least once a week he asks me to come
with him back to Thun this summer for a month. There is a real Swiss
chalet overlooking the Thunersee (Lake of Thun) with our names on it that
belongs to one of his old school chums. My cost would be air travel.
The Swiss Chamber of Commerce couldn't produce a travel brochure that
this little valley between the mountaintops doesn't have. There's even a
marina with sailboats for hire!]

Wait .. I thought you hated old people! 83? If I was that old guy I would
watch my back.

He's not in a marina - he just goes to lots of them, and gets free
rides in exchange for electronics know-how. Not a bad deal, at all,
and keeps his ownership and membership costs to nothing :{))



I've even had offers from Florida!.....(c;

Na Larry,

Further than that.
If you would care to come to Penang, Malaysia to give advice on my
electronics ahen I get back home, you are welcome to stay - anytime.

You can stay on the boat or, if you prefer, I have a guest apartment
in my house.

cheers
Peter


Geez, thanks Peter! But, alas, I have a business that requires my
attention here. There wouldn't be much left when I got back....er,
ah....if I ever came back...(c;

That trip would be first. ONE trip to Werner's house for Swiss German
dinner is enough to make me want to head to the airport....(sigh)

I must be crazy not to go....with my own guide and interpreter...

Here's the music background from Radio Eviva to go with the pictures:

See if anyone in Malaysia can guess where this music is from....(c;

And what engine do you try looking for a bit. Real hate speech
