    I spoke to a fella yesterday who was refurbishing a Katrina damaged
    boat, a flush deck sloop about 45 ft overall, a real blue water passage
    maker.

    He said he was thinking of having the boat transported to Europe to
    cruise...not because he did not have the time to do it, but because he
    thought crossing the Atlantic would be too difficult and unbearable!

    I tried to tell him that would likely be the best part of his adventure,
    but no way, he would not even think about it. So he has a very large,
    very well found day sailor-coastal cruiser, in effect...too bad he won't
    let that tiger roar!

    What a wuss, he doesn't know what he is missing and prob never will find
    out.-Ken
