[Public-List] Alberg 30 Circumnavigation Salsa #504

Fri Mar 14 09:22:59 PDT 2008

Peter,
Thanks for your interest. Should I learn anything about the history of
your Alberg I'll be sure and pass it along.
I envy you sailing in your waters particularily this time of year here in
Canada. Last year my youngest son took a year from his studies and
traveled around Australia. He was in Sydney for the start of the Hobarth
Race and spent much of his time surfing around Byron Bay. Kids have all
the fun! In addition to sharing a love of sailing we share similar
callings. I am a provincial prosecutor with the Ministry of the
Environment and teach Environmental Law at St. Lawrence.
