[Public-List] battery boxes

Thu Mar 31 12:50:41 PDT 2011

Gord,

When I finally graduated college, I had a house on a lake in New Hampshire
with my Hobie 16 pulled up on the beach in front.  I could see the boat and
the wind conditions from my home office and got very little work done that
summer (but learned how to "fly a hull" all the way across the lake).

Speaking of work, perhaps I should try some for the rest of the day. 

Best, Roger

PS - I LIKED your bendy mast idea

When I go out of my office I often forward the phone to my cell... And yes I
have had clients say "ah, Gord - is that WATER I hear in the background???"
