Jim:

Great to see your post.  Always great to see post from a remote location. 
Pictures of your area would be great, lately we see pictures of critters
rather than sailing and boats.  Next thing I expect is pictures of snakes
from Georgia.  

Have you sailed to Mexico?  If you recall we had a report of a trip on
Mexico's west coast, it would be neat to see Mexico's east coast.

BTW, "The power of the wind is awesome....it carries us peacefully to places
we dream of, but it also sometimes lets us know who's REALLY the boss."  Can
I attibute authorship to you?
