   i am going to miss this one!

   fred, in the state of bluebonnets for 2 weeks.

   even gonna race at Seabrook Sailing Club this weekend.

   Perhaps, we ought to hold a majors in the oklahoma territory-
   masters nationals/na's?

   "Who said you have to have wind to sail"?

   speaking of wind- you oughta feel the wind blow off the atlantic a
   sweet 12-15.
    and the only shadow is the cape-may lewes ferry- but that means you
   are sailing the wrong way. or just have to sail around the inner
   breakwater and frolick with the sharks.

   FRED, get your ass up to an east coast laser regatta this fall 2005!
