Charlie,
Mayebe you are a wee bit BLUE, because you couldn't make the Haha? Blue is the color of hope, so don't despair. Your time will come, and leave within your own comfort zone. You chose not to leave, because you are willing to wait, and be sure the
boat is ready. I call that a prudent sailor, and a wise one.
Every 1000 mile journey begins with the first step. You have gotten the boat from Astoria to
San Diego. Now the next steps are making the boat ready. Remember it's harder to frown than smile. You are far ahead of many here wishing to fulfill the same goal.......BEST WISHES.................i2f
