Jessie and Craig,
It has a good ring to it: the first Lake Hartwell rendezvous! Maybe we can make it happen this fall! Thank you both for the good wishes, I too hope all the medical problems are way behind me. I plan to start the trip on Wednesday and will get back home in late September. Stories from the trip will be in the Small Craft Advisor, but I will provide short updates to all who are interested.
Hope you have a great summer of sailing.
John Edwards
