@jespah,

I recall that when we ran Iapetus I up Fundy, on moonless nights the sky would be incredibly dark and theMilky way shone like a gauzy lace curtain. We would stand on deck and looking up, would get really frisky.
Were we doing it wrong? we never got to dancing much, but we did do some "begattin" in the early days

I noticed for the first time that, at the beginning of the vid, when Cyndi comes in the kitchen, her mother's picture is on the box of corn flakes on the counter.
