Maybe there no 'h?'

That year I worked on a three master to Tonga then crewed for couple of boats to Fiji and NZ. In all the time on the water we heard about those four I think Costeau first then Denver then Di then Mother Teresa?sp The other bit of news was NASA had a machine clanking around up on Mars. Back home in November I grabbed the weekly newspaper and one daily. The old ones from March or April were on the same table. Besides the weather which only took looking outside and the obits because of the names and the date it was all the same whatever. Been perfectly happy without newspapers ever since. turned on the TV and the first ear blaster commercial turned it off and disconnected the antenna whatever. kept the VCR and DVD player. When I left it all went to the neighbors.

Biggest lesson I learned was get rid of excessive anchors and shore lines and your boat will float and sail. Three months later I was single.

Been a great life since 1997. That was the year I set myself free thanks to AS, John Denver and the rest of the story.
