going.

You betcha!

Been a great season, though I've had less chance to experience it than
normal. (Friends are keeping me up to date.)

Aint it GREAT !

Maine and Oregon have a lot in common............ except most of
Oregon is a bit more north than Maine we both sit around N 44-N 45 We
also share lots of common relatives. Ever wonder why so many towns in
Oregon are also found in Maine uhh, Portland for example.... Lots of
Maine to Oregon wagontrains traveled in the 1850s-60s. Hell, my gg
grand pa's middle name was Augusta they decided to head out west to
Oregon cause there were still trees to cut down out in Oregon and not
as many people........hows that for ya Roger Long?

I suggest you embrace those wonderful summer days......... all three
of em.
Or Heck come on out to Oregon..... Oh, The Washingto coast is really
nice too. Uh, that is if ya can find a place to duck into. NOt too
many "harbors" up that way. BC is W A Y cooooool too!

Yeah but... Maine has Nova Scotia just a bit North-East of it.
We usually have beautiful weather from August till October. (except this
year)

That would be pretty much due East. ;-)

I guess it depends where in Maine you start from. ( Kennybunkport or lower)
You could miss us and next stop would be Spain, which may not be such a bad
place.

I just got back after laying down a 460 mile track that took us to Cutler
(Where we saw the Sistine Chaple of antennas. Larry's going to drool when I
send him the pictures). If you'd had the week we just had, you would give
Maine another chance. More later.

=====================

Roger, you really won out on the weather. All summer is sucked,, and then
you leave and SUN..

I left S Portland bound for NH a week ago. Got caught in a real bad squall
off Old Orchard,, barely made it into Bifferford.. whew.

The next day had a great sail. It was blowing hard but the sun was out, the
day was wonderful.. and I think ... Capt Skip sailed past me ...

What a day!

Boat is up river now.. doing the ledge repair..

You damaged a ledge ? That could be pricey.

Glad I'm not the only one that had that thought.
