[Alberg30] Die Hard Cruise

[Gordon LACO]

Hi - 

We are going out aboard Surprise this weekend too... Georgian Bay is getting
frosty and lonely this time of year but what the heck... a guy's gotta do
what a guy's gotta do.  We call the this trip simply "Suffering" but somehow
I still get crew.

My old season ender used to be the annual "Victorian Gentleman's Yachting
Day" which involved a trip up the Musquash River to a one-tree island in our
British Seagull powered 7' dinghy to eat a sandwich out of a wicker basket.
Timing for that was by tradition after the first snow fall.  The last guy
who would go on that with me (Barry Moreton whose family introduced me to
Albergs aboard their A30 KC #234 Surya back in the '60's) moved to Australia
years ago and no-one would take his place.

Will give a full report after...

Gord #426 Surprise
