Glad you liked it.  When we were out on the Isle of Rhum (yes that is the
correct spelling) we really didn't know if the show would come off well or
if it would be "Nerds out Camping."  I think you will like episode 2.  We
got to do some pretty neat stuff.  AFTER the show airs, I will tell you what
we did that had never been done before.  Can you guess?  Six cold ones and a
ride on my R-22 to anyone who can guess. ;-)
Fair Winds,

Bob Hendrickson
S/V Getaway
