Wally,
  Well, I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you.......The BBC had us
sign agreements.  2 million dollars if I tell, so I guess you gotta watch.
My involvement began when my wife downloaded the application from the
internet and told me: "This sounds like you.  Why don't you go do it?"  The
rest is a long story over a lot of adult beverages.  But I had more fun than
I can begin to relate.  I hope it comes through on the show.

Fair Winds,

Bob Hendrickson
S/V Getaway
