Doug,

If you wind up in Longview, then welcome to East Texas....or NE Texas more specifically. I live in Lindale which is about 40 minutes west. I sail the area lakes near home (Lake Tyler, Lake Palestine) and never see any cats. Just the occasional monoslug. It would be nice to get together sometime seeing as how I am new. I think you are an old hand (not age-wise but experience-wise <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />) at this and I know I could certainly learn a thing or two or three from you. At any rate, good luck in your move. Hope you get what you want.

Walter
