[Alberg30] Fw: Sail for America Update #8 - 6/1/02

[Brian and Elaine Timmins]

If any of you guys that are coming North, are sticking around for a while
(quite a while, I realize), you might want to consider taking part in this.
I noticed at least one boat signed up from CBYRA.

2 when

close the

Slowly,
