Default Sailing and Swans!

I'll be out sailing Fri, Sat, and Sun.

I haven't sailed since Sunday, but I did take in the
sights at the top of my mast on Monday inspected
my rig. Visibility was awesome!

I have to admit the prusik knot trick works for climbing
a mast when you are short handed, but I'd much rather
be winched up by a relay team--it is a whole lot faster
and much less tiring. This was my second time climbing
a mast with this method. I'd like to try using ascenders
next time, and perhaps using a better bosuns chair.

So where did you sail Rob?

BTW, I'd keep the kid away from the Swans, they can
be mean. Be sure he knows not to get too close.

Most of you didn't.
Sailing again tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday. Most of you won't.
Most of the ASA members should seriously consider a lifestyle you can
actually enjoy. Few of you sail much at all.
