who's going to stop in. I opened my e-mail yesterday afternoon and there was a message from Sten (redviking). Sten informed me that he just dropped the hook in Belhaven. I looked outside and there was Lysistrata a few hundred yards from my front porch.

We invited Sten and his lovely wife Steph over for a few cool beverages and fellowship.

This living near the ICW is going to be fun.

Sten, sorry the air raid siren didnt go off.

Just remember, homeland security is monitoring his moves, after all he has clandestine meetings with French nationals.

Keep him away from anything valuable. Calamity follows him.

Uh, yeah... Hello? This Salty sailor truly enjoyed meeting Tom, his wife and their son. A couple of coldies and a really GOOD shower and we are eternally grateful.

Uh, Frank- German nationals rammed my boat... The French only keep my vessel stocked with good wine and cheese, and some euros if you exhibit in one of my US Pavilions at French shows we work on with the US dept. of commerce... Shhh.. don't tell!

By the way, uh Frank, I told Homeland security you were my Lawyer and my barber - they wanna check you out now and get discounted haircuts.

And those guys in dark suits, well they are supposed to be my advance team, but with our limited budget we were only able to buy them Hunters and their foul weather gear is by Armani, so they were late in making sure Tom had enough coldies in his fridge before we got there.

And, guess what - no incidents? damn, some days my life is truly normal! Can't someone like surface their homemade sub under my vessel with all kinds of pointy things so we can have another weird adventure? I'm ready with the hammer and the dowels!
