John R, How be Lulu?

[Peter Kalshoven]

And of course, how be the lovely Kate, not to mention Doris the dinghy? For that matter, how be you? (Yes, we're in withdrawal here, we need another Lulu story.)
Fair Winds,
Pete

John, how in the world did you sneak a post in 1 minute before I posted mine? :D
I guess we now know how you've been, but we still need a story!

Peter

it is very kind of you to enquire after our fortunes, and our best wishes to you and yours. We are OK down here in the misty west, in fact today is bright, sunny and mild and feels like spring already. Lulu and Doris have, of course, been sitting it out on the beach all winter, Lulu snug under her special winter cover. And I have been steadily varnishing all the bits I could take home to work on - locker lids, locker doors, engine box, cabin doors, and so on. I've gone through two cans of Epiphanes already.

Next major event will be a week's leave I have booked at the end of March for fitting-out smile.gif
