Hello Connie, Thank you for the wonderful post. I have enjoyed your contributions to the Monty List for years and I can only hope to have as rich of sailing life as you have had. I have a great boat, lots of water around me, and am winding down my work life, thus I an looking forward to many, many new anchorages and sailing experiences. Please stay in touch with all of us, even though Lepo is gone, you are still a valued member of the M-group. (loved the quip about Martini's, however my happy hour drink of choice is a Bloody Mary). Bones
