So how many camps do you do per year? And how can I be on the staff? And if I get accepted, where is the best place to stay? Do you still need a long-term renter to keep your mother-in-law away?

We do two one week sessions in the summer, a day a week for five weeks with the local Catholic school in September/October, a few one day sessions with the Boy Scouts, local kids tennis club, and other groups who want to do an event, and four days in February with a prep school from Upcountry.

There's also adult classes that run one day a week combined with beer can races to get them out on the water.

We're always looking for volunteers. If you've got fiberglass skills so much the better. We spend three to five weeks every year on repairs to the foam core boats.

There's a lot of rentals in Lahaina. All you need for transportation is either a beach cruzer bike or a 49cc scooter that requires no license of any kind.

The Lil' Husker Suite got picked off by a friend of our oldest kid. She needs to escape from the Mainland rat race and arrives in eighteen days. She plans on getting a boat job to meet people and maintain her tan.

I tried to start the truck this morning and all I got was a clicking solenoid. I pulled the battery, loaded it on to my Chinese scooter and headed to NAPA.

The sales guy ran some tests and said, "This battery is just like you."

"Just like me?!?!" I replied.

"Yup." said the sales guy, "It's old and worn out."
