Hi David,
Thanks for the information. I will, as usual, pass it
on. The couple I pass it on to just had their old
computer die and were a bit computer phobic anyway.
They may not replace it.
I find it interesting that you go to a pharmacist for
minor ailments and get medication directly rather than
through a doctor. Not that I have a problem with that
as long as it is the correct medication, etc. Is that
"normal" in that part of the world? When do you see a
doctor? What's an "A.A.A."?
Nice to know that the North side of the Med is still
safe to cruise. I hope that by the time we are able to
go, the South side will also be safe for everyone of
every faith even if it is no faith.
There's something about what you say that makes us
both want to see that part of the world even more. We
are both working to pay the bills, buy the boat, and
leave before age tries to force us to make other
decisions. In the process, we've gone from thinking we
needed about 40 feet to thinking maybe we could do it
on about 33 feet. One day, we _will_ be there.
Sometimes, I think it might be with a windsurfer
towing a row boat with a tarp over the row boat. :-)
