<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=black face="Book Antiqua"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>We had another wonderful albeit small group of
passengers (15) aboard. There were visitors from <st1:country-region
w:st="on">Switzerland</st1:country-region>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">England</st1:country-region>,
<st1:country-region w:st="on">France</st1:country-region> and <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Germany</st1:place></st1:country-region>. <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Detroit</st1:place></st1:City> was represented
as well. I realize that to some, <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Detroit</st1:place></st1:City>
might seem like a foreign country, but it is the place of my birth. Since
I am flying back on Monday to visit, I had a very nice conversation with our
guest from <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Detroit</st1:City></st1:place>.
He later became quite pale and spent most of the rest of the trip near the
stern rail. Our French visitor (although originally from <st1:country-region
w:st="on">England</st1:country-region> as evidenced by her accent) was from the
south of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">France</st1:country-region></st1:place>
where I will be bicycling in the fall, so I also engaged her in a lively
conversation. She told me how to say, “can you ship a case of this
wine to <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">California</st1:place></st1:State>?”
in French. That is a phrase I will find very useful while there. Not much
activity from the Humps, but nonetheless the passengers were delighted to not
only see them, but spend most of our time on the water following them. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
