Ahoy All: Exciting stuff: laundry, food shopping, and getting ready to have dinner with some friends at the local Olive Garden this evening. Next week we'll take the train into NYC for a Broadway show and dinner with friends. This Sunday we plan a day cruise with friends to a local state park on the ocean for hot dogs, burgers and BS. Boat and crew have held up quite well so far; I'll be changing the fuel and oil filters (and oil) on the diesel engine in another 50 hours. Otherwise, no problems at all with the boat's equipment. After May 26 we'll wait for the first good day to venture out into the ocean to get to NYC and the Hudson River and continue the Great Loop. I hope by then that the really warm weather has caught up to us. Wade Ehlen Albin 36 Miss Happ Take Yahoo! Mail with you! Check email on your mobile phone. http://mobile.yahoo.com/learn/mail
