Tom,

Thanks for your interesting remarks. Yes....it would really be nice if
the " Pond " were not so wide. Oskari's boat sounds interesting.

Would you happen to have Oskari's snail-mail address ?

I don't know too much about Indiana except driving through back and forth
from time to time to my place of birth in St. Louis [ ie.....driving
Wilmington, DE to St. Louis and back on Route 70 ] ...and the 465 around
the south side of Indianapolis...with perhaps a motel stop one night off
that southern beltway.

I'm looking at my Rand McNally Road Atlas. Where do you sail in Indiana
[ or therebouts ?
