------------------------ The rain kinda had me bummed out :^( Was hoping to catch a sail, but I guess it'll have to wait until tomorrow. Just a smattering of precipitation doesn't bother me, but it was coming down pretty heavily :^( The National is always my prefered place for a brew :^) I'll drop Struther a post and see if he'll be around to join us... that is, if the guy ever decides to log on again! :^) Cheers, Augustin~~~=== NYC, Toronto - S2STOR - S2SVCR ...

I had hoped that this anomoly would go unnoticed, but alas, YOU logged on! I'll have to bring this issue up with Geno when I see him next Cheers, Augustin~~~=== NYC, Toronto - S2STOR - S2SVCR ...

NF> Thanks a lot for letting me know it works, NF> See ya, NF> Neil NF> ==== NF> --- NF> * Origin: Therfield BBS (2:440/60) Well then; would you know where to find used JY-15's at a resonable price? This past fall Baltimore County set up a high school sailing program where we also learned how to race the boats. By the end there was a small sailing race. Anyway I am looking into doing this more seriously and I would like to try to eventually find myself a good boat to start with. I really enjoyed the JY-15's because of the speed; though they seemed very capable of capsizing in strong winds. I would like to at least find something that probably would be good to sail in the Baltimore Harbor.(note: the harbor has a lot of gas; oil; trash; ect... floating in it at certain places, for the most part it is kept presentable but early in the morning for example I found a dead cat in the water and so I would like to try to find something that doesn't capsize; the Baltimore Harbor is still cleaner than the Boston Harbor though.)
