I sure did.  It looks good, as I page through it.  I haven't done any
detailed reading of it yet.  Scott Williams name shows up in books and web
sites that have to do with paddling Louisiana too.  It seems like he knows
his stuff -- or at least has that reputation.

Can you tell it's Friday?  This is my fifth or sixth post from work today.
Motivation to work is waning quickly.

	Did you get a copy of that book the guy was writing about the
Mississippi coast?  http://www.scottbwilliams.com/ExploringcoastalMS.html

Wow, that sounds good.

BTW, I'm planning a week-long coastal cruise in November.  I'll share
details as they formulate, but the basic plan is to start sailing East, and
turn around when we're halfway tired of sailing.  Making it to Mississippi's
a given.  Alabama would be fun.  The Florida state line is a long shot, but
a worthy goal.  There are some pretty bayous and barrier islands that I want
to explore in the area where MS and LA meet, so that will hinder the
Eastward progress somewhat.

Ben:

	You should have been on Lake Hartwell yesterday.  Around 6 pm the
winds were 15+ with gust in low 20's.  Temp in low 80's.  The winds were out
of the North, very unusual.  My wife said it only took 20 minutes to get to
where at other times it takes 3 hours.  If it had been a couple of hours
earlier, I would have gone to Rummy's old place, may he fold his sails in
peace.
	Another bigger boat was with me early on and on SW heading he was
heeling 30 degrees, while I was heeling slightly. I keep waiting for the
wind that was causing all his heeling.  I had gust but non put to that much
heel.
	May another front move through Saturday.

Kentucky heat & humidity."

Man, this Louisiana boy is barely handling it either.  Normally, in
compensation for the 90% humidity, God spares us the 100 degree
temperatures.  But not yesterday.  You would think that at some point
"miserably hot" would just be the sensation, and a human couldn't tell the
difference between 90 degrees and 100.  But, let me put an end to that
notion here and now.  It was so miserable yesterday that the sweat didn't
stop pouring.  Not even inside in the a/c.  I never got comfortable until I
got home and found shorts and a t-shirt.

Probably not sailing this weekend,
Ben
