Elle:
Ask Captain Crawford how long such a trip should take by water. I
believe it took him two days from Edenton to the middle Cheasapeake.
All your panic and Captain Meltzer had some important information.
Again, you are listening to rookies, not the voices of experience. This is
not watching television, that is just turn on the the program is there.
Commodore Spiters will solve all your problems. So much so that Rose will
probably wonder what is going on.
You mean that you are not going to take the motor if it is not hooked
up to your fancy? In a foreward direction just leave the motor putting
along slowly and straight ahead. Steer with the rudder.
Still concerned? Go to :
http://www.shawandtenney.com/specialty-oars.htm and page down to the
sculling oars. Buy one sculling oar for the boat.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things
that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines.
Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
