I see not much has happened differently in rec.boats since I left Fri
to head for Kansas. We just got back last night and to tired to head
for the lake today.

Thursday evening before we left I went to three local cemeteries, and
decorated 13 of my family mostly divided between ww1 and ww2 vets,
with one from the Spanish-American and one from the Civil War.

Then Friday morning we headed for Kansas. It may be the last time I
ever will go out to dress graves of my ancestors on my mom's side,
Long and tiresome, but it was a great trip, just the same.

Anyhow, I'm half way feeling back to normal again, so it's time to get
ready for the huge cookout. And before that, I might go do some work
on the 23' Marquis. decisions, decisions....

Anyway, enjoy the day .

Looks like a few people might have actually gone boating this weekend.
It will be interesting to hear the stories. :-)

Yes Wayne. It certainly would. I would have loved to have gone, but
too tired and too much to do, besides, It's pouring rain here now.

I post the *details* of my boating adventures at "the other place,"
where w'hine and his kind don't post their snotty remarks about other
posters.

We got back last night. It was an interesting day on the bay on Saturday
(really warm weather!)... interesting boat also. The guy currently owns a
Sabre 36 (not sure what year). He also bought a Sabre 426 (it's 2005/2006 I
think) on the East Coast, but his plans have changed and wants to stay with
the 36. He's asking a bit more than we originally planned, but I think he'd
take close to our original max (about $300K). Anyway, we took a nice long
sail on the 36. Here's a pic of me having a great time (yes, I have a
hair-color change for those who saw the previous pic and yes, I'm sound
asleep).

Apparently, when you have something over 39', there are a bunch more Coast
Guard requirements (equipment/regs?), so we would need to factor in if we
want that additional hassle. Also, we would either need to get it here or
sail from there, so that's a decision factor also. Of course, no decisions
have been made other than to request more information. Hey, I got to steer
the boat for about 1/2 hour. Prepare to tack! Arggg.... Cool... _then_ I
took a nap.

yes Wayne. I'd love to hear the baoting stories to. That is, if
anyone would post them.

Sounds like a lot of family history to be proud of Tim. Good of you to honor
those soldiers.

Thanks. I have several family artifacts fro battles and conflicts from
the past. And I make sure that they're graves are decorated on each
Memorial Day. No brag on my part, but this year I also went around to
a lot of other local grave sites and layed out 64 flags.And that
didn't cover them all. Next year I'll probably set 0ut a hundred or
more.

Somebody needs to do it.

“Memorial Day has traditionally been one of the most solemn and
patriotic days for Americans, and rightfully so. This is a day when
all Americans join together to remember the sacrifices of those who
answered their nation's call. The significance of this day is
sometimes confused or distorted. The true meaning of Memorial Day
becomes at times, distant or vague, lost to commercialism, or drowned
in forgetful indulgence. Sometimes, there is a failure to recognize
the magnitude of the deeds of the men and women who held true to the
notion that evil and tyranny must not prevail.

Nationally, it seems a sacred duty to keep the legacy of our nation's
patriots forever fresh in the memories of future generations. We are
bound by honor to do so. They fought and died to preserve this land of
hopes and dreams. Without the courage, valor and singleness of purpose
of our nation's veterans, the values that have always made it possible
for us to meet new challenges, and move forward as a nation, would
have been lost. The freedoms that so many Americans enjoy did not come
cheaply. They were paid for with the flesh and blood of American
servicemen and women, and with the tears of those whose lives were
changed forever by the loss of a loved one.

Memorial Day is a day of opportunity to give thanks for all that we
are blessed with. It should also be a day that we rededicate ourselves
to our country and to America's living veterans and their families in
memory of the sacrifices they, and others have made..

Veterans will gather to honor fallen comrades on this day. Their time
together may have been brief, but the bonds were deeply formed. Life
and feelings are intensified when there is sharing of hardship and
laughter; fear and loss. It is a responsibility with which we all are
charged -- to do our best to repay the debt that is owed to those who
have presented us with our most precious gift ... freedom.” (Jesse

Thanks Tim.. I was reading it though and imagined you might have
written it, I think it would have made a good Sunday service lesson
