Mary Lou,
Thanks so much.  That was quite educating.  Not being from the bay area,
I knew nothing about skipjacks until now. - rob

For those who are curious about skipjacks here is a great video 
featuring Capt Wade Murphy of the Rebbeca T. Ruark who sails out of 
Tilghman Island (listmember Rory Orkin's home port). It's sort of a 
commercial for his educational charter business but nicely done and 
you can hear that great Eastern Shore accent:

And here's the even better story of her sinking and rescue in 1999 
(she was restored):
