Re: [harryproa] Re: Proa Names

Hi
We're recently returned to my native New Zealand after some 8 years out
cruising.
I met Angela on my first major trip , she had a dock behind her house in Ft
Lauderdale - I ended up marrying the landlord. She also claims her mother
makes the best arepas on the planet.
How's this for a plan, we both build harry, then we can do a house/boat
swap!!!!! I wouldn't mind getting back to Miami for one those long Cuban
sandwiches ( medianoche??), and Angela could visit the family.

Cheers
David
