A message from Pearson Current publisher
William J. Lawrence

August 2006

Good morning Pearson owners.  It has been a very busy summer as I try to balance my time between work and sailing.  Satori has been undergoing some much needed and long overdue cosmetic work.  I made the decision to move in a whole new direction on her teak.  Fighting the battle of keeping the teak clean and pretty, I have varnished, Cetol'd, Sempco'd, and I do not recall what else I have used on Satori over the last 15 years.  I am now taking it all down now and going back to basics and using old fashion Teak oil and love the new look.  I will put an article with photos in our association newsletter soon.

Please go to the Bill Shaw birthday notice on our home page.  Bill just turned 80 and I put up a dedicated phone line for you to give your personal birthday greeting to Bill.  I will put all your messages on a CD and get it too him. September 15th is the deadline for all messages.  Having lost much of his eyesight I felt that this would be a very special gift for him to enjoy.

Please also look at our on line Pearson Current.  I have not added to that part of our association web site for some time now.  We have several articles that I will be publishing that should be of interest over the next several months.

I truly thank you for sending your photographs for our membership gallery.  We still have a backlog on these and are continually adding new arrivals to the gallery inventory.

OK, I am off to Satori for a short cruise and should be back around Labor Day,

Wishing you smooth and safe sailing,

Bill Lawrence
