Just put the sails on the boat, cleaned up the winter scum and crud, hooked up the batteries and in another week or two it will be in the water. I booked way too many jobs, but the few days I have off are now set aside for sailing the waters of Chesapeake Bay's upper reaches, and possibly a cruise to lower Delaware Bay. Hasta La Vista Baby!

Right on, Gary...

Studio owner I work for has a 52' Catalina, we went out last week in the Gulf a couple of times. First time for me this year. What a blast. He's got a HUGE racing gennaker and that boat will make way in the lightest of breezes!

Yes Gary, Set sail with Captain Morgan or one of your famous Margaritas. I hope to drop mine in the water in a week or two.

I think Bob Lee is coming along great after his operation.

Gary I'm envious. After sailing for many years I no longer have a boat. It became my first Ocean City Condo. I'm now on my third one having doubled my money on the first two. Even so, I still miss the boat, especially on beautiful days. Have a great time out there!

Thanks guys,

This is what she looks like in the water. And, the boat's name is Travlin' Easy. And, if any of you are in the neighborhood there's always room for one more, and the drinks are on me.

Tony,

Be glad to take you anytime you're in the area--just give me a call.

Fran,

Where in the heck did you find the photo of the boat's first mate?

I can see the photo of the first mate, but I can't see the photo of the sailboat...

Of course who cares what the boat looks like?

What does this have to do with Arranger Keyboards?

What a life! Sailing is the one thing I'd like to do but haven't, much. Kentucky has no good water. Sailed with my Dad's friend in the Gulf when we were in Biloxi for awhile, but that's it!

I'm jealous. ENJOY!

Donny,

Tony is righ--that's how I was able to buy the boat. Now I'm looking at a much larger boat, one that will take me to the Florida Keys for the winters months, one I can live aboard in the land of palm trees, bikinis, tiki bars and turquoise water. I've been working on this for a couple years, and with luck I'll have the larger boat by the end of this year or sometime next year. Then when the winds begin to blow from the northwest I'll put up the sails, head south to Marathon Key, hook up with the tiki bar in the marina, play one night a week for slip rent, and spend the rest of the week playing at various locations throughout the island. A good friend of mine that lives there from December through April said I beat every player they have on the island by a substantial margin. He took a couple dozen of my CDs with him to the island this winter, handed them to the club owners, and all but one wanted to know when I was comin' down so they could book me for the winter season. So, in response to your question, this has a lot to do with arranger keyboards. If I didn't own one I couldn't do this. (Gotta' have a big sailboat too! )

Cheers,

Gary
