Art,
Sorry I missed you this weekend. My phone spent most of the weekend in my
basement office and I rarely checked it for messages. Next time give me a
little warning that you are going to be on the lake and we can try to get
together.

Lee,
Good news on the cruise - one of my fondest wishes is to cruise the
Chesapeake. As you prep for your outing, take a look at your v-berth and see if
it could accommodate an extension headboard up to the bulkhead, stbd side.
I'm going to try one in Fla in a week, think it may prove a nice advantage
in sleeping comfort. You are taller and may be an option for you.
Have fun and smooth sailing!
Art
