Certainly a big “thanks” to Bob for his monitoring. Many of our lives and boating careers have been enriched by the information shared and the friendships started here. There are also the early years of Trawler Fest, and those of us who presented and became friends with the other presenters. > > Those of us who have come to know Georgs and his dedication to various aspects of boating, including owning a C Dory appreciate his dedication.

I started skippering in races my dad’s 26’ sailboat when I was 13. (I won the first race and the series I first skippered when my dad was traveling. That lead to a sailing career of over 40 years and over 200,000 miles.) > > Fair winds and following seas to all. > > Bob Austin > > ------------------------------ > > Subject: Digest Footer > > > To unsubscribe send email to > trawlers-leave@lists.trawlering.com with nothing in the subject or body of the message. > > Trawlers & Trawlering and T&T are trademarks of Water World Productions. > Unauthorized use is prohibited. > > > ------------------------------ > > End of Trawlers-and-Trawlering Digest, Vol 280, Issue 3 > *******************************************************
