Re: M_Boats: Desolation Sound
Hi Connie, Glad to see you are still monitoring the M-Boat list! We have always enjoyed hearing about your past experiences, and now we will be pleased to entertain you with our cruising tales. Time waits for no one, get out there on the water as much as you can. I think I'll be returning to one on Minnesota's crown jewels, Lake Vermillion, with my M17 come mid July. Keep the stories active my friends. Bones ____________________________________________________________ Refinance Now 4.0% FIXED! $160,000 Mortgage for $633/mo. Free. No Obligation.

Connie: I'm no expert, but self-publishing on the web is now a possibility. There also is a web-based company that publishes and provides you some software--can't remember their name. Gary ☺ On Jul 11, 2010, at 10:48 AM, Conbert H. Benneck wrote:
