Mickie and I went to Mark Twain Lake in Northern Missouri 12/31/99. There was not a soul to be seen. We boarded DOXOLOGY, our C30 and settled in for the evening. We had a great grilled steak for dinner, a little wine to toast the new year and a wonderfully clear sky and glassy water. Next morning, we awoke to see a bald eagle sitting atop a tree, not 50 yards from our boat. He sat until we pointed a camera at him, then he flew. We saw him 3 more times as we sailed around the lake that day with the same results. The wind was about 10 Kn. It was late afternoon--we were just leaving--when another couple arrived to go for an hour's sail. I can't remember a better New Year's Celebration. It could have only been better by sharing it with friends.Have a Happy, Healthy Y2KJohn and Mickie
