How Much Do You Really Sail?
Is that how far apart your destinations are, or how many miles over
ground, or miles thru the water?

Miles through water.
I don't have an accurate count on that, the dinghies don't have a log,
the H19 knot log keeps getting stuck & the tugboat has only a primitive GPS.
My longest leg so far has been St. Malo, which was about 150 miles.
That would be a good sail. Are you planning to do another Round The
Island race?
Last year, I had my worst sailing season ever. A combination of work, and
private commitments conspired to prevent me getting out on the water. I
think that I only did about 500 miles.
The year before, I only missed two weekends between the middle of February
and the end of October.
When do you haul out?
I'm determined to get more sailing in this year. However, I have two
teenage sons who have discovered that girls are interesting. When I ask
the family if they would like to go for a sail, I just get grunted at!!!
[sigh]
Grunt back. Get a club. Better yet, get one of them to invite a girl
sailing. In my experience women find sailing very romantic (at least, up
until it involves throwing up).
