That's sad. So very sad. Imagine that. It's got to the point where people can't sail
if they don't have electricity. And worse yet they use it as an excuse like they're proud
of themselves. That's *really* sad.
Funny but "Elle Niņo" sails just fine without electricity. You people around here have
got more excuses than Carter's got pills. Mercy! I think your happier hanging around a
garage talking about electricity, motors, oil, propellers and everything else but boats
that use sails to move.... Get real why don'tcha?

Cheers,
