<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>John/George, got it. I have about a week left in
the boatyard before the Oregon coast weather gets foul and I bring her back to
Astoria. I want to get all the preventive maintance done I can. As to the
'turkey' aspect not a day passes without an admiring inquiry from a star-truck
passerby, including some hardcrusted commerical fishermen, some of whom don't
have much patience for 'toys'. Her stern aspect (up on blocks) does have some
wonderfully senuous, curvilinear archtypical memory about her (like Marilyn
singing Happy Birthday, Mr. President....) Thanks</FONT></DIV>
