<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello, My wife and I just welcomed
home our "new" boat, Hull #276 from Detroit MI. She arrived at
Solomons, MD at around 4:00 AM today, and will spend a few days in the very
capable hands of Craig and Phil and their team at Zahnisers YC, before launching
her in the same Marina. She's been very well cared for up on Lake Michigan
her entire life...we feel very lucky!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been reading and learning ALOT from the
archives here, and wanted to say "thanks" for all the great
discussions/threads--invaluable to first time Alberg buyers such as
ourselves. We're also fortunate to have met Tom and Sheila at Trident
Yacht Sales down at Solomons, and if you're reading, I hope I don't scare you
away with too many questions!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>George, the "check is in the mail" for org
membership dues, now that we finally have title to the boat.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'll end here by apologizing in advance for the
fact that we will be doing a whole lot more "asking" than answering in the forum
for awhile--again, thanks to all for your ideas and insights.</FONT></DIV>
