Ken suggested regarding Greenwich:
"Why not have our meeting there?"

Sorry. Not a chance. The core group is still in the US and few would be 
willing to spend that kind of money for something like a navigation weekend 
in the UK. But ya know, if you want a meeting in the UK comparable to the 
ones we've had in Mystic in the past few years (see fer3.com/Mystic2006 and 
fer3.com/Mystic2008 if you're unfamiliar with this), just plan one. That's 
how these things have happened so far. I just declare that the event will 
happen and then do the work to make it happen. It's a LOT of work with little 
direct pay-off, so think it over carefully.

As for current plans for Mystic, I am looking at two weekends in the Spring 
right now: April 16-18 and May 14-16. Anyone see any conflicts with these 
dates?

I am still considering the possibility of an alternative location, maybe 
somewhere mid-Atlantic. And ALL NavList members as well as all others 
interested in traditional navigation are welcome! I do recognize that it's a 
long way to travel for some, and I apologize for that. 

By the way, I met up with Stan Klein (who did a presentation in Mystic in 
2008) at the memorial service for Don Treworgy on October 3rd. We estimated 
that about five hundred people were in attendance. It was a fine tribute to 
Don.

PS: Some of us went aboard the large barkentine "Mystic" at the end of the 
Navigation Weekend in 2008. Sad to say, that impressive vessel is now owned 
by the bank, and it is up for sale. Fortunately, this business was separately 
incorporated so despite bankruptcy, Amy and her partners were able to keep 
the schooner "Argia".
