[Alberg30] breaking ice

I know that there are a number of Canadian folks who read this list, and 
you're probably totally frozen over right now. Well, down in Annapolis, 
we've been receiving quite a lot of your air for sometime now, but I 
want you to know that it hasn't been able to put a damper on going 
sailing, YET.

If any of you are interested, you can follow the links below to check 
out some pictures of the experimental work I have been doing to support 
and validate the conclusions of my latest research paper, entitled:

"Numerical Methods for Analyzing the Icebreaking Performance of an 
International 5o5 in Light Air."

Who says we don't get ice here in Annapolis? I suppose that if the ice 
gets any thicker, I'm going to have to bag the 5o5 (even if she DOES 
have a kevlar hull) in favor of Calliope...the woodburning stove is a 
key feature when it's this cold.

Sorry to be so off-topic. I thought this might make some of you laugh...
