[Public-List] Time to sell

[Gail DeMoss]

When we bought "Calypso" the seller gave us a membership in the A# 
Association as a Thank You/Boat Warming gift. A wonderful gift that we 
have enjoyed all these years - 31 years, I believe.

Glad you will still be enjoying boating at a more gentle pace.

"Calypso"  #543
