>Thank you, Bill, for the pix of your Bay Hen motor launch. =

permission,

Geoff,

Sure...go ahead and post any photo of mine you wish. Thanks for asking =
"
permission ". You are a gentleman !.... [ usually ] ;-D>

In thinking about my " Bay Hen "....I think a good boat class it would fi=
t
into would be " an ultra LIGHT CRUISER ". I know that the US Navy has=

various cruisers,,,,but none weighing in at about 1,000 pounds!. ;-D> =
=

Perhaps I should review previous threads about shooting at PWC's from o=
ur
small boats...in that that mast tabernacle stub would be an excellent =

place to mount a 50 cal. machine gun !

Enjoy your vacation ! Yes...I can understand how some might wonder w=
hy
you would want to leave the Tahoe area...being it's so nice there [ usual=
ly
]. I spent three years shore based on Ford Island { in the middle of
Pearl Harbor} [ the Pacific Fleet Intelligence Center ] and lived with my=

family in sight of Diamond Head. It was _ really_ nice to get back to
the " mainland USA " from time to time...despite how nice it was in the
Honolulu area [ usually ]. =

I will somehow try to get through two weeks or so without your good humor=
!

Enjoy your trip !

"pottering " around in his light cruiser !

PS: My own "vacation" will be over tomorrow night ! My wife returns
from two weeks in Nova Scotia to visit relatives and my pleasant solitude=

will be over. No more pop corn for breakfast...or whatever !
