Herb,

You're going to make me cry.  I did get an auto tiller because I saw this problem coming, but I've been so busy I haven't even had the chance to install it.  It is sitting on the boat in it's box, waiting.

I also developed a waterproof laptop computer system that I can take to and from my boat, with a power supply that works off my boat batteries, plus another back up battery system...just in case, and a cell phone always-on link to the internet--all checked out and never used.

And still the book wasn't ready by my birthday--and I haven't sailed even once this year.  (Normally I get out at least 75 times a year.)  But, you pays yer money, and you takes yer cherse.  This year I took the choice of writing the book instead of sailing the boat.

Maybe I'll tow it down to the Keys this winter to make up for lost time.  I've been talking about doing that for a long time.  Then I can write and sail at the same time when I'm not on a tight deadline.

Bill

Ron,

It almost seems like a set-up doesn't it?  But it isn't.  I didn't plan to discuss this issue today, and I didn't plan for Michael to release this information to this list.

I don't own the quotes, nor are they owned by the people who originally uttered them, nor by the organizations that originally printed them.  All I own is the order they are now in.  That's my intellectual property, and you are free to copy the quotes themselves and distribute them in any form you see fit.

The only reason I had the time to bring up the intellectual property matter is that the typesetting for my book, which was sent by my United States publisher to India, came back completely wrong, and I would not permit release of the book until it is fixed.  As a consequence, the "Buy" buttons don't work on my site, and I had a little time on my hands during which I chose to vent my frustrations.

The book will shortly (I hope) be available as an ebook in PDF format, Palm format, and as a physical book in bookstores, and through Palm, Amazon, Adobe, and others.  Until then, you are free to visit the site and get a taste of what I have been doing this summer that has kept me from sailing.  If you would like to copy and send quotes you may do so with my blessings--just tell your friends where you got them.

Bill Effros
