Perfect Weather...
On 09 Aug 2004 04:52:14 GMT, something compelled
(SAIL LOCO), to say:
We were out again today.
Us too.
It was the first time my girlfriend had ever been out on a
sailboat. I neglected to tell her about heeling, my bad, but she
got used to it in short order, and after a couple of hours she
was helping with the sail trim. On the downwind run back to the
marina she took the helm. We had one accidental jibe, but I get
those too, and nothing broke and nobody got hurt.
I need a new pair of winches and some new cleats to go with them.
The thirty-eight year old original equipment looks cool, but
newer stuff works better. But it was a beautiful cloudless day,
the power boaters were being considerate, and *nobody* on my boat
discussed the upcoming elections.
