Hi Andrew: <br />Are you back in the States? Hope it was a good trip.<br /><br />So, let's try again. I restored and re-edited all the garbled parts -- and I have kept another copy with a different name just in case! Keep your fingers crossed. And, yes, please cut down on the description of sand removal, etc. I know we landlubbers would be overwhelmed by the detail, and maybe you seafarers as well.<br /><br />I checked with my computer geeks in India and they can't explain what happened, so who knows?<br /><br />Anyway, we're up to date, except for the few changes you said you had on chapter 3.<br /><br />After that, you'll submit however many parts you want through Editor World and add 5800 words to bring us up to date. Right?<br /><br />Regsards,<br /><br />Arnie
