I'm still not set up with the internet but expect to be within a week. The previous address I gave you (Augustin.Henriques@S2S.shipnet.etc) does not work. As I sail with the sysop of S2S, it's not a problem for you to send me messages to the board. He will transfer them to me as they arrive... eventually :) Actually, I'm wondering if this will get to you at the address on the upper left as a "private message". I'll respond to you re:Inventory/Finances and any other suggestions that may pop up between now and then soon, but am just waiting for us to establish a sure internet connection. BTW, I bought a new Pentium 120 notebook with 16 megs of ram and a 1 gig hard drive! I trust this ought to run your software quite nicely! :) Talk to you again soon! Cheers, Augustin~~~ ...

For a break and R&R(?), I do understand that. The longest race I've been on has been about 8 hrs in length. It's nice to do other things than have to concentrate on one thing for that entire time. Besides, it's a great way to not only train new crew but to keep them interested in remaining crew. ...
