Thank you, George! Doesn’t begin to cover it, really.  You do so much for us all.  
I’ve enjoyed this list for decades, even during the years without the boat.
Wonderful contributors sharing knowledge and sailing adventures, (are you there, Gord Laco?)
Undoubtedly we shall all miss it.
Thank you so much.

If you'd like to preserve some of the messages from this list, you can download them from the message archive at http://lists.alberg30.org/pipermail/public-list-alberg30.org/ and this will also be going away.

I started it around 1998 using the ONElist service (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ONElist) which then merged with eGroups and was then acquired by Yahoo! Yahoo started adding "web bugs" to track viewing of the messages, so I decided in June of 2000 I registered the domain alberg30.org and hosted it on a provider that offered 'mailman' mailing lists. It's been there for the last quarter century, quietly facilitating conversations between Alberg30 sailors and aficionados.
