[Public-list] Introduction

[John Irving]

Mike and George, thanks for the info.

The boat was previously documented so I plan to inquire with the Coast
Guard to see what information they have. Once I've established the
hull # I'd like to order a plate. (Mike, I live near Lincolnville -
what a great spot! Perhaps we can meet up next summer for a sail on
the Penobscot Bay.)

I've browsed the A30 site and printed off the application for the A30
association membership - it will be in the mail tomorrow! Thanks again
for the help.

John
