Lynn,

Just wanted to say -- what a wonderful response! I need to think about it and get back to you when I'm more awake. It has been a long day. The only thing I'll say now is that sailing was once a big part of my life. Not business, but family. Unfortunately, it got out of hand. My first husband wanted bigger and bigger boats. And we continued to throw money in those "holes in the water." Money was the biggest prolem in our life even though we had two careers. I should have left him, but he left me to go live by the water. And that's where he is today. He told me when he left that the statistics were that a woman my age would almost never remarry. (I was 48 years old). But he forgot that I didn't worry about "almosts." I remarried before he did and to the wonderful man that is my husband today.
I was determined!!! Said more than I intended, but your talk about the schooner was so interesting. Thank you for that story.
