Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Scottie

   Hey Scottie
   It is great to hear that you are in recovery, I would need to be in
   recovery from that fuel bill....what did you move?

   My son and I just moved our boat from Toms River NJ to Rock Hall Md.
   much of it off shore....we may have used 15 gals. of gas, but then we
   didn't make 24 kts either.  ( 28' Centerboard sloop.)

   In my life there has been little that has given me the pleasure of off
   shore sailing, I do not even care if I am not going any where....out
   of sight out of mind.  And it won't be the first time I have been
   accused of being out of my mind.

   Look forward to hearing about your South bound trip.

   Phil
