>No TP DXing for me yesterday morning or this... Yesterday, it was "a quick run ashore" for some tile for the last part of our house (my shower). That meant being at the ferry landing 7 miles away well before dawn.... its tourist season.  Turned out to be the ferry ride from hell... ferry broke down half way to port (30 minutes out) and we floated at sea for quite a while. Eventually a massive sea-going tug arrived, along with one Coast Guard helicopter and two Coast Guard Harbor Patrol vessels (armed) and we eventually made it ashore, only three hours late. It was actually fun! Of course, many of the the tourists were going crazy, on cell phones trying to change airline reservations out of Seattle, etc... but, hey.

John, even when you're not monitoring the bands, you are most entertaining with the stories!  Also living on an island (and my cottage on an island), I've sure been in the same scenario many a time.....the price one pays to live in paradise!  Thanks for the stories, John........Walt.
