Did you ever see the Mimi? I think that's where Ben Affleck got his start.

I knew some of the crew, Chi ...[text shortened]...

Jeez, what a sad tale for the Mimi:

Yes, Sonhouse, visited Gloucester many times for fantastic seafood with a view of its craggy

coastline. As to the rest of your questions, sorry but I lack the frame of reference to reply.

I had a dozen or more courses on the physics of ion implanters at Extrion in Gloucester and spend many an hour at some of the pubs there where I met Chicky and Peter Marston and they gave me a tour of the Mimi.

One time I was in a motel that had a very long downhill run of grass leading to some trees and slung a wire out a couple hundred feet and had my ham gear running dx from my motel room.

Sometimes spent 2 weeks at a time there.

Did you ever see the yearly dingy race there?
