Hoping you have plenty people to celebrate it with. Let's keep the thought together, of sunny weather and remember the good parts for sailing, to keep us going through the never-ending tedious work that has to be done in the winter, well now spring; so why hasn't the weather improved?! :O Sending my thoughts of helping through the ether to help with the work on the boat. HaHa! =) J Hey nick, quick comment to wish you a Happy Birthday for tomorrow. Hoping you have plenty people to celebrate it with.
