Steve, Do we need to hold a memorial service for Aeneas and Ediz (Greek and Turkish Cypriots, respectively) or were they rescued by the navy of Cyprus, Turkey, Greece, United States or Britain or were they even further west in the Mediterranean and the Maltese, Italian, French or Spaniards picked them up?

Well, Clumpy and Kloumpios weren't as ready as they thought. The two deck hands that installed the JATO bottles put them on backwards. So they had a little delay getting that straightened out. But once they got everything as it should be, WOW! After the rockets fired and they got up on plane, the concern about the mast was well founded. They did lose the mast, along with the sail and the two deck hands that first put the JATO on backwards! The Rolls Royce has more power than they will ever possibly need. Clumpy was having a ball, but Kloumpios was pretty much speechless. They did impress some other boaters as they flew by: http://stevezeva.homestead.com/Clumpy_Hauling.jpg They'll be back in no time...

It looks like Clumpy and Kloumpios are ready to go: http://stevezeva.homestead.com/Clumpy_coming_back.jpg They've taken on fuel for the Rolls Royce engine and added another pair of JATO rockets in addition to the original pair (because of the weight of another John Deere), in order to get up on plane. It looks like all of the deck hands are looking at the mast wondering if it will survive the acceleration. I'm concerned that nobody is wearing hearing protection. Might have to yell when talking to Clumpy and Kloumpios when they get back, their hearing might be shot...

Both John Deeres have been repaired and Clumpy said he is leaving this evening, ready for his next mission. However, he found his rocket-propelled raft will hold both John Deeres, so he is taking cousin Kloumpios back with him. As Kloumpios knew no English, only Greek, he did a crash course over two evenings and now speaks English like an Englishman. Clumpy and Kloumpios did sterling work between them and all the wiring, power and signal, is now installed, tested and working. I guess they did 75% of the work. I much appreciate their diligence. I hope they will have a pleasant and uneventful journey back to home base and that Kloumpios settles in well.
