The racing was much better than the flying but it cost too much money. The years we raced we went broke every August. I would like to visit Hawaii again some day but I hate the long plane ride. The chairs are way too small for me. The weather in McKinleyville is just like Hawaii except it's 20 degrees cooler. Len Hey COASTIE!!! I've been trying to get Glenn to come on this board for months...now that there is a Coastie here, maybe that will peak his interests....Glenn was a Chief, Len, and still is...altho, he's been retired for 20 yrs...LOL He did a lot of Search and Rescue, was an expert Marksman, taught Aids to Navigation and Maritime Law Enforcement. I didn't know him then, so I don't know all the details, but I know he was stationed in Governors Island, NY, Alaska, on the Mississippi somewhere, ville, FL, fort, MI at a lighthouse!!!, other places I can't recall right this minute and he retired out in 1986. Did you ever know a Glenn ?? Keep fighting this disease, Len...you know Sailors are TOUGH!!! The long plane ride is exactly the reason I've never been to Hawaii...I just can't sit still that long...and I can't sleep on planes, altho I love to fly EVERYWHERE!! Lots of hugs and prayers, Donelle Caregiver to Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
