After a great deal of deliberation, input from site users, and discussions with Eric, it's been determined that Skip will no longer be using these forums. Eric's a good guy and a talented sailor but ultimately, his forum needs were different than what we could offer.For those who enjoyed his humor, movies, photos, stories, and advice (which was pretty darned resourceful, you know) you can find his own web site at the link below. It has a loyal following and there is fun as well as information to be had there.Stop by over there and wish him well, OK?ph.
