Steve,

Thanks for the tour of San Diego, Tammy and I had a great time. Next time we'll get you to give us a kayak tour of SD. Kayking at Catalina was great, we got more sun, but were armed with sunblock. Look for a post on the trips BBS soon.

How's the coaming coming along since your question, everything working out okay?

Thanks again, Mike
