Hi, dEmO! Long time, me lad. How's the boatyard business (assuming it is still there after your Hawaii trek)? I have a bunch of photos of Satori, Tom, and Bobbie from when they visited the Chesapeake. Kind of cute having Chicken Little tied up to the noble Satori (except that the Harbormaster in Annapolis kept shooing us away). Also have a pic of Tom as the CAL 25 National Champion (1973 Tom?)..
