Russ,
    The chap I spoke with in Tobermory sails a gray Norsemen 447 out of Detroit -
his name's Gerry or Jerry.  Dapper chap; you might know him.
    He was the one who remotely, via VHF, diagnosed a problem aboard a sinking
Catalina 27 in whose company I'd left Tobermory for Port Elgin in 31kt. true!
(It was less heading south in the Bruce Peninsula's lee.)  Crazy!
