Great grandmom said it was insistence, but she lied a lot, that's what
everyone liked about her!

Belgian? No, I did not know that!

... that's obvious... most Scots had a little Viking in them back then...
weather by choice or insistence.
Have I mentioned I'm Belgian?

| news | Crap!... to both of your sentiments regarding cold weather sailing
being
| more comfortable than warm weather sailing. Nothing beats a warm
tropical
| breeze pressing canvas to glide your vessel over a turquoise blue sea
that
| is so transparent you can see the bottom at 60 feet. Unencumbered by
| excess
| clothing and free to enjoy the warmth of the sun while ice cubes
crackle
| and
| hiss in your rum punch. At anchor the water invites you to swim... not
| dares
| you to enter. As the coolness of the evening approaches and you rinse
off
| the salt and sweat with a cool evening shower before retiring to the
| cockpit
| for a sundowner while enjoying the music of the steel drum band on
shore
| drifting out to your mooring.... I doubt envy is the first thing that
| springs to mind when and if you think of sailing up north.

| | Amen to that Katy. I love sailing in the cold weather. no bugs, no
| sweat,
| | not too many motorboats, plenty of breeze, hot meals and coffee both
| taste
| | better, sleeping is more comfortable all snuggled up in a warm
sleeping
| bag,
| | etc.etc.etc. Just don't fall overboard.

the

very

ambled

| really
| | bad forecast with fronts reversing...
