BuscaBrisas came within a few feet of biting the dust a couple of weeks ago! She was parked in my yard and the top of a big maple tree came tumbling down during a storm, poking a couple of holes in my house roof, wiping off a couple of sun awnings and very nearly smashing Busca to smithereens! The only damage appears to be a broken masthead light. Yesterday, I stopped up at my local sawmill and found a couple of Amish fellows interested in repairing my roof and tonight they stopped by to look at it and on the way out the drive, you should've seen them giving Busca the once-over! It may have been the first time they've seen a small sailboat up close! *grin* Tod BTW, new e-mail address is: htmills at zoominternet dot net
