For those of you who have been consulting Chapman's trying to figure out what "apre a line" means since receiving your weekly email this morning - I have the answer. Simply put, it means I was up too early, typing too fast and not paying enough attention. As you can see by this weeks discussion topic, the title should have read - "Hey buddy, can you spare a line?". And, for all of you who took so much delight in pointing out my screw-up, rest assured I have been flogging myself since I pressed the send button early this morning. Cheers to great sailing and my future use spell check! Bly
