I've received a number of inquiries about membership status and the first newsletter of the year. I just returned from a 4 week trip to Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia as part of a team sent to fix an airplane that ran off the runway and collapsed the nose landing gear. So I'm just now working on updating the membership status and the newsletter and hope to get something out next week. As for the trip, I did get out kayaking (only once) and luckily, did not find the gym with the erg until 3 days before I left!
