I think he jumped the gun by 50 minutes!

Restart required by the Rules, April First edition. (Wink)

A windfall would be nice. As would be a landfall after a long passage.
If he has to re-start for jumping the gun, doesn't he have to do a 360 degree turn first?

Re: Won Lottery now what

Although I am eventually starting an autism sailing program, I would not ask for your boat. But as a geoscientist, I am very interested in your island conversion. More so, I have solar and electrical experts for friends and I am myself interested in harnessing tidal and wind energy. It can be done, but be prepared to invest in DC appliances for all of your electric usage. It makes sense to go with Edison on this; if you want zero hydrocarbon fuel. Also, depending on the location of your island, their may. be geothermal resources to exploit.

Congratulations on the blessing you have received. Let me know if you want a geoscience and electrical engineering/materials science team to help you find all the energy you want for your new home.

Peace!

What a coincidence! I won the lottery too! I'm looking for a skipper and maintenance crew for my new 95 ft cat.

I am a retired writer but never made any $ at it. My dream is to sail the keys and Bahamas and start writing again but my Mac25 wont cut it. Would love to take your boat off your hands where it would get all the love it needs!

With the lottery enhanced bank account and 95' cat can I assume all new crew must show previous employment at Victoria's Secret on their resumes?

I believe in the USA today is April Fool's Day! Obviously it's celebrated in other countries too!

Re: Won Lottery now what

Let me forward you the email I recently received from a nice lady in Nigeria who offered to share her fortune with me. It is a sad tale about how her late fathers fortune is tied up. She needs just a a few thousand of your dollars to help her recover millions

I am sure she is very nice and honest.
