I'll buy a copy, Connie! --Craig ----- Original Message ----- From: chbenneck@juno.com To: montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com Sent: Monday, May 30, 2005 5:45 PM Subject: Gone Sailing Hi Gordon, Thanks to your suggestion about writing a book, I've started the spade work. Have a three ring binder and am busy dropping notes into envelopes in the binder whenever my wife and come up with new reminiscences. ...........like the time we were sailing down the English Channel and had to leave the boat in Boulogne harbor for a week and get back to work at the end of a vacation. It poured rain as I doubled up all the lines, and as I bent down to fasten the last spring line, there was a ri.i.i.p - as the center seam in my suntan pants let go........... No time to get new pants, the train to Paris was leaving shortly, so the Admirable walked behind me as we rushed to the train station, to keep the display from being to obvious........ In Paris we had to change trains to get to our suburban town, but I made it without getting arrested for indecent exposure. Thanks for the suggestion....... It sure brings back lots of nice memories.
