Here is the story of my quest for a sailboat. After you read it
lets
here your story, IF you have a boat. This has been published in
Sail
magazine and readers digest. It is copy writed.



LIE!

This abortion was never published in either of those magazines.
Sail
sometimes
doesn't do a perfect job of editing, but this is so poorly edited
that it
wouldn't get published in Screw Magazine.

BTW, back issues are available if you want to post the dates and
issue
numbers
it allegedly appeared in, and anyone is stupid enough to think they
even
need to
check.

September '00, volume 31 number 9, 'twas no trouble really, have 6
years of
back issues in magazine holders upstairs, am no longer a subscriber,
of
course. This is funny, I actually read this article when it was
published, I
won't tell you what I thought about the author when I read the
article, I
have subsequently had a change of heart. Every sailor has taken their
boat
out when they probably shouldn't have for various reasons.



How true John, I was desperate to get the boat the hell out of Leo's
marina. I admit it wasen't the safest thing to do, but I made it
without dying and thats all that matters.

Or sink the boat. Good lessons, the ones you tend to remember, limiting the
possibility of repeating them in the future.I would add, taking the boat out
when you probably shouldn't is what makes you a sailor.

Do you subscribe to Readers Digest by any chance?

No.
