Frank, I know this is an older thread but did you ever find yourself a copy of Shrimpy?

If not, there is a free .pdf download here: http://members.lycos.co.uk/marybonney/ (http://members.lycos.co.uk/marybonney/)

Shrimpy... the most regularly read book on my bookshelf!
Shrimpy sails again... about 7 chapters in so far and not a patch on Shrimpy so far.

Good story- I've also bookmarked it and have read the first couple chapters. I'll certainly read it all, as will Laura most likely.

Thanks for the link

Thanks for the link.

Gave you grog even if the books on the computer thing does not work out too well for me (just my eyes) so I checked for shrimpy on Amazon (since I have money to send there.... and it was $89 used!!!  :P

  Worst part is I passed up a copy in a book store in Panama city for $6....  :-\

Just finished reading Shrimpy...truly enjoyed it.Shane sure would have qualified for 'small boat-long distance' as well as a very KISS mentality.Thanks again for the link.
