Hi Sean,


 RH> the fun parts of these cruises--get to meet people from all over the
 RH> world, with life stories so different from yours.

 SD> I have heard that from my friends who enjoy crusing.  One of my
 SD> friends is an amateur radio operator and obtained permission from the
 SD> master of the ship to operate on HF once the ship was underway.  My
 SD> friend had a lot of fun operating "maritime mobile" as he had the best
 SD> grounding system on Earth for his setup!

Steve wanted to do that but decided there were too many hoops to jump
thru to make it worthwhile. It probably would have meant packing his
carry on with radio gear. BTW, his call sign is NY4NC, as he explains "I
left New York for North Carolina".

Our fig tree is leafing out quite well, also has a good number of baby
figs. Steve took a couple of small branches, dipped them in rooting
hormone and then planted them in pots. They've both taken off so he gave
one to a neighbor, will plant the other on our property (other side of
the house from current tree). Looks like we'll have gallons of figs in a
few years; I think it took the current tree about 5 years to really
start putting out.
