We were delighted that our niece. Shelley, was able to join us, if only for a few days. She is now on her way to India to be a do-gooder. However, we did go out for a few hour test ride of our recently repaired engine...so she legitimately qualifies as crew and merits this posting.

I'll be leaving tomorrow so I will do one more wrap-up posting. Stay tuned.
