<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Yesterday, Waconah put a notice on this list requesting
assistance for the A30 #352 Grace, now in Portland, ME. Dona Blane has
suffered a serious medical emergency and has required hospitalization and
surgery. More surgery may be required. She will not be sailing for a
while.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Matt is looking for help in getting both himself and Dona
back to the Chesapeake by road, and the boat back by water. The boat is fully
equipped and seaworthy--its usual harbor is Cambridge, MD.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I need a competent Alberger, hopefully with some coastal
sailing experience, to step up and help, SOON. I am prepared to crew, and
free transportation is available from Maryland to Maine.</FONT></DIV>
