[C320-list] Jellyfish--a word from the sailing guru Mr. Buffet

[David Nolte]

Adam,

What a great song, I wasn't aware of this Buffett song. I just  
downloaded it. Thanks.

I'm still wondering if there are many of these pesky creatures in  
Southern California. Anyone have any experiences with them there?

Thanks,

David Nolte
