[Chris Geankoplis]

Oh Man! Richard.  What a project!  I wish I was there to lend a hand!  Let
me know if you need crew to bring the boat back.  Has security been
reestablished at the marina?  Which one was it?  Was the rudder and prop
undamaged?  Anyway, Doesn't look like we will get ours in the water till
December, you are welcome to ride along when we make the crossing.
