Serendipitous that this thread pops up again. I hadn't heard from Bruce in quite some time. He was home in British Columbia the last I knew. Then, just in time for Christmas, I received this a few weeks ago:

Hi Patrick. Hope you are well. I've been out of touch for quite some time. As it's getting close to xmas I thought I would touch base with you to see what's up. I'm over in Thailand for a few months soaking up some sunshine and good food. I purchased an old tahiti ketch sailboat a while ago which I live on full time. I love it. Built in Hawaii in 1960 and covered with bronze, copper, and stainless. I havn't heard from Paul in awhile so I'll send him one tonight hoping all is well with him. My love to the sweet miss Regina. All the best and merry xmas. BB ( I still ride the guzzi daily)

It isn't exactly clear if he's on the boat in Thailand or if he's just vacationing there and the boat is back in British Columbia. I'll clarify and post back. At any rate, it's nice to hear that a free spirit is still wafting about.
