You would very much enjoy the twenty-foot waves and the very big boats--aircraft carriers, oil tankers and luxury boats like the QE2--that float by. (Sometimes, I can reach out and touch the propellers!) If you change your mind, let me know and I will buy an extra lifejacket. Do you like the orange or the circle kind?<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/><BR/>Hugh Lafferty<BR/>Emeryville, CAHugh Laffertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17741898525618319736noreply@blogger.com
