The parent companies, Raytheon and Kongsberg are involved in several joint military projects. There is no mention of a buy-out on the Raymarine, Raytheon, Simrad or Kongsberg web sites or in Google or Yahoo news. ******************************************** Note to Keith, For some reason the mailing list address disappeared from this message, I just got MC's personal address and a comma. I even went back and hit "reply all" to make sure. ********************************************** Not sailing this weekend, but I did move the boat about a mile from one storage location to another. The old facility was a large barn-like building with partitions between the bays that did not reach the ceiling. The new one is more secure and has AC outlets. It was nice to just spend some time with the boat even if I did not get her in the water. The lake is in a national forest. The trees are still mostly bare but there are some red buds and pears in bloom. steve SteveR.
