[Public-list] Alberg 30 wanted

[David Parkes]

Thank you for this, Don.
I agree with your thoughts on the situation so I'm driving to Vermont on 
Friday and bringing the engine back home to overhaul (I started my working 
life as a marine engineer).  We intend to sail from Vermont on July 5 with 
the engine working well and a great voyage ahead of us.  Thanks again for 
your advice.
