Good luck, Chris! We do envy your access to the Craig, and please convey our best wishes to the crew, and tell them if they ever drop the mudhook in Portland-East we'll treat them all to a lobster bake.

Well, it's final packing for our exit from Sydney. What a wonderful vacation. Yesterday, we had coffee and pastries with Margaret on Glebe Point Rd., swapping archane information about folk music contacts, and turning over to her about 5 kilos of song sheet copies, one or two of which I didn't get the opportunity to sing.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble, off to frozen Maine
