My condolences about your aunt. But dang how am I going to hide now,he may get that thing aimed. Oh maybe  global warming is here, that nice toasty Pacific ocean  at 57 degrees can melt a lot of "pretty" . So  bring it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Melted pretty is just what I need, maybe it will be some real wet stuff not this dang little spit they talking up.But I am not to sure your cousins can find except the smell of rotter grape from the making wine ,and now the"coolest town" award from some touristy outfit. But I would not be surprised if I know somebody that knows them. There cannot be that many old time sailing ships around. My sons FIL was chief carpenter on one when he retired his regular job. It was not in San Diego but south of LA.

| I fount the town he lives in...it's "Ferndale". i'm not sure where that ole boat is located right now, since he drives 3 times a week to work on the thing. guess he has to do sum schooling on it before they lets him go on it's voyage. |

Yeah Dale, Ferndale is up north of Ray quite a ways, closer to Mel. It's a long day's drive to San Diego from there. ------------- "If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer" Allis Express participant |

| Well at least San Diego and Ferndale are both close to the ocean. So I guess they could use a boat to go back and forth. So maybe they don't want to be bothered with a dead Jeep. |
