Hi FOLKS. WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY BUT:

Well now thank you folks very much! :-)

Do I begin the "Stage Fright now?"  Or when all are onboard and you want to 
"KEEL HAUL ME?":-)

As each member signs on, along with other photo folks not of the LUG, I 
become more excited to meet people face to face and a warm hand shake of 
friendship!

Much like the Cape Cod Leica International Seminars each year! There were 
members of the LUG whom I met each member for the first time who enjoyed the 
side effect of the seminar... in this case it will be a Cruise. We met face 
to face, human to human rather than screen typing screen to screen! We all 
learned and enjoyed our time together.

One of my favorite meetings as I came in the room was meeting Tina face to 
face the first time. A lady in a photo vest! Tina is a Southern Lady of 
class, not to forget she is one of the best of the best shooters in the 
crew! :-) Oh it's all OK, my wife loves Tina dearly and Tina's husband Tom 
and myself are buddies! :-)

It will be an interesting boat adventure to say the least! :-) But then 
isn't that what the LUG family is all about ? Human to human interested in 
the surroundings of photography?" :-)

Come on along! :-)

Cheers,
ted.
