Hello Captain and Crew,

It seems that most of us have been through so many episodes of fear, that anything less than traumatic now adays, just draws a few yawns from the Crew....we all now are awaiting whatever news is next to arise on the screens...

So at this time Captain I'm requesting shore leave...

My 60th birthday happened yesterday (great scallop dinner at home),and I'm going to make it one to really celebrate right!

My wife and I are taking off to Cabo San Lucas for a week to relax at a great resort, and get in some deep sea fishing, then pack on some landlubber food at the restaurants....and finally head back to the Aurelian on June 17....Tanned, Rested, and Ready!

I'm not even going to take my laptop this time....so it up to the rest of the Crew to keep up the "battle" in my absense...Thanks to all who posted valuable information on our investment...this board is the best informed when it comes to matters about ARU, Ecuador. Gold, and Mining!

I'm still here until next Monday...

Long for Cash
