Lars:

I can't take the credit/blame for that post. That was my friend, Geoff, in
Tahoe. I was wondering about it because I hadn't heard that you had
consummated the deal on _Always_.

I was very sorry to hear about Holland Webb. I never met him personally,
but he was a long time member of the Potter Yachters and has contributed to
the PY newsletter.

I took Manatee's lateen sail into the sailmaker today to have some reefing
grommets installed.

Regards,
Harry
