<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><DIV>Keep in mind that the Mtka charters are in large vessels that are dishing out a ton of gas not mention catering service. Unless I am mistaken we are talking about a Carpi here. Not to mention you are dealing with parents who dish out quite a bit as it is during a <SPAN>recession</SPAN>. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I suggested to start the bidding low at $20.00 (or maybe even $30.00) with the likelihood that it will reach $50.00 if not more. You have to take into the "quality" of the ride ( no offense Lynne) and your market/audience. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now of course if Lynne includes Craiggae singing then of course you will have to start the bidding at $10.00. We still luv ya buddy.</DIV>

If you had to put a value on on a<BR>> sailing excursion from WYC to Maynards, or maybe just around the lake<BR>> for a couple of hours, what do you think the value would be? Our<BR>> son's school is having their annual fundraiser and they are asking for<BR>> donations of unique experiences or services for the silent and live<BR>> auction. We thought we could donate a Saturday sail but I'm not sure<BR>> what I should put as the value.
