Used the wrong keyboard gridgit in the first paragraph and cancelled out the name of the boat we switched to: namely the Twilight. Sorry 'bout that!

But the important loss, due to my notorious cyber-clumsiness, is what I wanted to offer about the library. Please add: I have been collecting keelboat, flatboat, and steamboatin' books for a number of years and now have some 90 volumes about 'em in my library, plus a few about canals. I also have all 65 of the "Rivers of America" series and have even read all of 'em! (From this point, continue on to the open invitation that closes the above E-pistle.) Cyberklutz Sandy (who would love to have Joe Offer fix the goofs and save me all this humiliation!)
