The Adventures of Captain Gale: Switching to Yahoo! Groups

Faithful email readers:

With my email machine allowing me 25 subscribers per email and an ever-expanding distribution list, it's become too ponderous (and expensive!) to send out my periodic emails via pocketmail. My friend Truman has set me up with a yahoo group, and will be signing everyone up to be able to continue to get my newsletters. I'm in another yahoogroup, and its been my experirnce that yahoo sends virtualy no junk mail after the intro letter. Truman and I are the only ones able to send mail to the list, so the only mindless emails you get will be from me. There is an option when you receive the initial email to opt out of the distribution.

I hope everyone is coping with the "coldest winter in xx years", depending on your locale. Fear not, according to the Nassau Met Office we are experiencing the coldest winter in 60 years. Why, just yesterday I was forced to cut short my snorkling after only 20 minutes. I swear it wasn't because of the 4' sand shark hat suprised me...

Again, sorry about the Yahoo group thing, but the cruising kitty just doesn't allow for 20 minute email sessions.

The Adventures of Captain Gale: A couple of personal e-mails

Des here - Captain Gale and I are good friends and every so often he dropped an e-mail directly to me. Typically it was in relation to a Jimmy Buffett song he heard while on his adventures or Bruce Brown's surf Film, The Endless Summer (many boats with this name - and I love the movie ES I, ES II & ES Revisited by Dana Brown (Bruce's son). Here are a couple that came along at this time of year back when Captain Gale was sailing the Caribbean!

Hey. I haven't a choice but to think about you. I spent the night with a boatload of older people, and as usual I ended up looking at their music. Older people must invite me aboard their boats, its practically the law, but they have no compunction to actually talk to me. if they EVER do, they see me at the cd pile and assume (incorrectly) that I'll do the least damage there.

This evening I'm looking through the pile when I find a certain surfing music player that you like, one connected to Endless Summer. I throw on his Christmas album which is awesome, he has 16 guitars overdubbed on some songs. God bless, it is AWESOME...

hope all is well in the non-work world. I wish I could have made it to your big 30 party last year. say hello to Michelle for me.
Brian
