Never Say Never Never say never! Those were the words of wisdom from my friend “Sluggo” down on the docks. The problem we were discussing was the fact that in the previous issue (we never say “last issue” in publishing!) I spouted off in my editorial about how Jody & I sold Lost Soul partly due to the fact it was out of our financial comfort zone. You see, in this issue, just 30 days later, I have to try and maintain my composure as I write that we have just completed negotiations with my personal hero in this business, and that’d be Walter Schulz, to build a project Shannon. Okay, I know, Shannons are not free. Here I was blubbering about how we couldn’t afford to maintain our 26-year-old Formosa 56, and in the very next breath (issue?) I come back and say I am building a Shannon. 47
