The zone has always been somewhat of an addiction to me, Chas, as much as I hate to admit it. However, when I get out on the boat tomorrow, there is no internet connection in the middle of Chesapeake Bay, no cellular connection in much of the bay, and for the next five days, it's just me, the wind and the waves. Now, there's a bad addiction. But, I surely have a lot of fun with this one, too. The worse part is coming in the next month, when the weather gets too cold to sail and I have to store the boat on dry ground for the next six months. Next winter, though, I hope to solve that problem by heading south again before old man winter rears it's ugly head.

Cheers,

Gary
