Thing is Bubbles is at pains to admit that he is NOT an expert and
gets howled down for that admission.

Quite so. I'm no master sailor. I'm still learning. But it's clear that I have
the right attitude to sail safely and sober.
Next season will be the Martha's Vineyard trip, which we are super-thrilled
about. Still not a "major" voyage, but the best we can plan for while Suzanne
is still in school.
