    The handle helmsman implies boating; are you a sailor?

                  Blessed with a cabin up North; that's where they are. Working way too many hours in the meantime and telecommute over there when the ice melts :)

                    I'm usually first sailboat in. Earliest has been March 19....a few years ago. If you're in Minneapolis area give a holler. mike_mealy@yahoo.com I might be able to scrounge up a couple of Lasers....Saint Croix Sailing School. Where there are two boats....there's a race!

                      I appreciate your enthusiasm! Work in the Minneapolis area and will email you. Can crew as needed on L. Minnetonka or regionally. Whenever we meet ask me about my favorite Uncle. Regards

                        I shall always be the embodiment of enthusiasm. The wonderful perception of consciousness alone drives me to learn and experience every day. The kids on the St Croix dubbed me "Spongebob"....always a lesson with a whole lot of whimsy! See you in the spring.
