Thanks for the tip.  What town is NE Small Craft in?  As for the Newport
museums, yes, they are really a lot of fun.  Although I enjoy the one out on
the peninsula in Newport itself, the Herreshoff Museum (which I believe is
in Bristol) is even more interesting.  Newport is a great area to visit,
although IMO the town made some really bad planning errors some years ago
and the whole area has gone down hill since then.  But that's a subject for
another day.  BTW, do they still have the Sunday picnics at Castle Hill?
They used to have jazz bands on the lawn.  I remember watching the J-Boats
race from there 10 or 12 years ago.  Anyway, thanks again, and I'll
definitely stop in that store, if I can find it.
Mark
