Just got my email back last night after a 4 day bout with dealing with ATT
Broadband.

Yesterday I put Windswept on the waiting list for a mooring in the main
Marblehead harbor.  Its a FIFTEEN YEAR wait!!!  I'll be almost 65.
Fortuneately moorings are available on the Salem harbor side.  I guess snobs
only want the main harbor.
