I have reverted back to modem dial up. I have had very little success in finding wireless (free) or at least cheap wireless on the way northward. I have been able to receive email sometimes but not allowed to send out any responses. To those of you who are wondering why I haven't responded to your emails, please be patient. I think this is something to do with my firewall set up but I don't know how to fix it. I am currently in Myrtle Beach, SC parked near the ocean. The weather although clear and sunny is cool but expect the temps to go up in the 80's in a couple of days. Should be a very warm Easter Sunday. Ralph and I had a great time in Hilton Head, SC. I will attach a couple of pics of me at the helm of the old 12 meter Americas Cup racing sloop, Stars and Stripes. It was, for me, a tremendous thrill to steer this old beauty in a stiff breeze. I also got to help 3 guys hoist the mainsail which goes 95' up the mast. It is very very hard work and I was terribly sore in my shoulders for a few days. It was probably foolish on my part to volunteer. We also kayaked on Broad Creek which is the same name of the Creek I lived on in Whortonsville, NC back when. Enjoy the photos. Ralph is back at the coach baking bread, Oatmeal, I think. My dear Bearfoot is currently in storage nearby. Can't seem to post photos on this site right now but will try again later.
