Sounds like we have another Skipper! A one week marathon of 3,500 miles on the trailer and the remaining 35 minutes on the water. I sure hope Charleston doesn't have Tostitos. Nah, more like 1:20 drive, and about 4 hours on the water going down the river. No tostitos in Charleston, just great restaurants! |

I sure hope Charleston doesn't have Tostitos. Good old Snipper. *Hope he's at peace where ever he is. I took an opportunity to scout out proper launch sites this past weekend in Cape Breton. The marina I planned to use closed this spring. Too bad, it was in an ideal spot to cruise the western end of the Bras d'Or Lakes. I did survey a nice little narrow ramp accessible down a steep narrow twisty path. Doable with a smaller tow vehicle and rig. Actually, I think Skipper *is* R.I.P. It's kind of sad that in his last few "appearances" here, he obviously had gone bat**** crazy. I rarely agreed with him on anything, but he was an entertaining story teller sometimes, and he certainly was a far better writer than 99 per cent of the "righties" we have infesting this newsgroup these days. Ol' Skip could turn a phrase or two when he worked at it; his "inheritors" can barely turn a pitchfork full of "used" hay in a cattle barn. Skipper did seem to have lost his marbles in the last posts he made here in the Summer of 2006. Maybe it was a meds/health issue, as it appears that you are correct and he is no longer with us. It appears that Dave passed on 11-7-2007 of a heart attack, just 4 days short of his 66th birthday. His bizarre approach to boating will live forever! Is that a fairly accurate report? Hard to believe..almost 5 years since he got all worked up against Chuck for some perceived slight or snub/insult. |

Did you tour the Yorktown while you were there? If you didn't you missed something special. |

I've been on it twice, and once was with a WWII veteran (a relative) that worked on the Corsairs. When he saw the Corsair on that ship, he had tears in his eyes! |

"Meyer" is a sockpuppet. -- I'm a liberal because militant fundamentalist ignorant science-denying religious xenophobic corporate oligarchy just doesn't work for me. |
