Rummy: Sorry no. I was referring to the PO of our boat, the "NoKaOi."
Fellow by the name of Barry Howard. He and his wife loved it - the boat and
sailing in SW Florida that is. They routinely spent two weeks at a time on
it and once spent three weeks on the boat. At least that is what he told
me. Very interesting fellow. He was about 6'5" and his wife was about
5"3". Both very nice people.
