[C320-list] They Say You Want A Resolution

[Scott Thompson]

Whatever makes you happy Adam.  Personally, I'm far more impressed with 
the number of times you went out than with the miles traveled -- 
something I don't bother to record.  By the way, did you reach any new 
destinations?  My goal is to expand my sailing horizons, and maybe to 
even get my boat across state lines into Virginia.  Last time we came 
close to the border I told my kids that we had to turn back lest we sail 
off the edge of the charts!
