Brett-

I really like that scheme of boating around the islands delivering mail and legally proscribed medicines.

Err, have you seen the boat design?

Getting "in shape" is probably a good idea in any event, once your body has recovered from the various operations and affronts of the past year.

With regard to long term plans, Judy and I are considering a re-visit to glorious Australia in the fall of 2007. Sharing part of that vacation might be an option for you and Wakana to consider as well.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
