Greetings to all....especially those of us who must now spend a bit more [
if not all ] time ashore due to the winter here in the Northern Hemisphere.
Book report to follow:

Just finished [ darn near non-stop ] reading of " Five Against the Sea ...
A True Story od Courage & Survival " ...by Ron Arias [ at least in my local
library... as Dewey 910.45 ].

Five fisherman leave the west coast of Costa Rica in a rickety twenty nine
foot wooden motor launch for a few days of fishing and end up adrift for
about __FIVE MONTHS___finally being rescued just south of Hawaii !

A great read if you like that kind of story !

Suggestion: If you come across a book you think the rest of us would
like...how about a few words about it ? Might help reduce cabin fever,
minimize flaming e-mail debates, and curtail the building crazy
accessories for our beloved watercrafts.
