Stan, Jerry, Doug: Will shoot for getting to Monterey a little earlier on Friday, hopefully around 1pm. See you all there. I sure hope there's not much kelp. I sailed in the Delta over the 4th of July weekend and despite best efforts to avoid the weeds, I must have had to reach over the transom at least a half dozen times to clear them dang aquarium plants off my rudder. Wound up on the prop a few times too. Hey Sean...how's that shin? Are you sure you can't hop a cheap Southwest flight up to the Bay area to hang with us? If you can fly to San Jose I could probably pick you up on the way over. Just would need to find overnight arrangements... -N
