    I forgot to ask about this yesterday...

    While cruising through the Block Island Sound on a beautiful clear Autumn
    day (Wednesday), an odd thing happened. A bird flew into the pilothouse
    causing quite a commotion. To say the least, it got the complete attention
    of our yellow labrador retriever, Tucker. Tucker leapt from his normal
    position on the pilothouse settee to attempt to make a morning snack for
    himself. After feathers went flying, I managed to fully open the starboard
    side door and shoo the bird out, much to Tucker's disappointment.

    All of this got me and my wife thinking...is this a good luck thing or a bad
    luck thing?

    Today (Thursday) we pulled into Atlantic Highlands, just inside Sandy Hook,
    NJ. Once the anchor was set, the WiFi antenna was connected. Three sites;
    none of them are encrypted; at least 2 are high speed. Life is good...
