Dear R users,

I have this kind of data set:

structure(list(Year = c(1985L, 1985L, 1985L, 1985L, 1985L, 1985L,
1985L, 1985L, 1985L, 1985L, 1985L, 1985L, 1985L, 1985L, 1985L,
1985L, 1985L, 1985L, 1985L, 1985L), Day = 1:20, Month = c(1L,
1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L,
1L, 1L, 1L), Amount = c(1, 10, 1.5, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 1, 0)), .Names = c("Year", "Day", "Month",
"Amount"), row.names = c(NA, 20L), class = "data.frame")

I would like to do a block average for every three days i.e.
Average(1Jan-3Jan, 2Jan-4Jan, 3Jan-5Jan,...29Dec-31Dec, 30Dec-1jan). I want
to do this for each year and take the maximum value of the 3 day averages
in each year to create a series of maxima. How to do this in R?

Many thanks for helping me.
