Hey Carl,

I think you know my feelings on the type of thread you posted. I actually revived it when I pulled it up at the suggestion of Third Hatt. I contacted the person who I thought was responsible, and told them to count me in. I bought my Hatt for such things as that, and a couple of thousand miles ain't nuthin' to me. To that end, let me know if this trip is still on for next spring. I'll have FREEBIRD good and ready for a long trip with some fellow Hatt enthusiasts who do their boating at sea, not at the dock or on a computer.
Keep me posted.
