John, I think you've just "invited" us all to join you. Cocktails and snacks and the evening is what we all wish for. What a wonderful scene. You've given us a great view into your world. Thanks.

Thanks for your responses on my starter problems which have disappeared, at least for the moment. We went on an up river trip to Madison IN last weekend. This is their Ribber Fest, Blues, Barbeque and Balloons. It is 38 miles up there and normally the wind is from the north or northeast going up and from the southwest coming back. This year held true to course. We motored up and back.For the last several years, a number of us leave Thursday afternoon and go to 18 mile island, raft up behind the island, have cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, dinner and party afterwards. The next morning we leave for Madison which cuts off about a third of the trip and we get to Madison about 1:00.
