Great to hear that AOS is still alive and doing well after the storm and
the Florida growers as a whole are still thriving. Hopefully, Hurricane
Ivan will stay low and out of Florida's way. Have heard of some
grower's losses, though, and our sympathy is extended. There must have
been over a billion in lost yachts -- oh, only they had me to steer a
yacht or two northward and out of danger -- seriously, I love boats and
could not believe all the people who could not get down to Florida to
rescue their multi-million yachts. That was a real tragedy!


Or an insurance bonanza.
