Gordon, I can just imagine the looks people gave you when in the midst of snow, slush and cold, you say you're going sailing this weekend............. But for us, currently snow bound sailors, your description of San Diego sailing does increase the cabin fever! At the moment, sitting at the keyboard and looking out the window, the tarp covered M15 seems to be floating on her design water line - only it's floating in snow, not water. That will come soon enough. After all the work shoveling, the weather boffins are promising mid-40s F for today............... Is this some sort of make-work program, or some miscreant's idea of a physical fitness program? I can do without that! Connie
