I'm curious if anyone else has set goals for the coming sailing

goal for this year? Mine is transiting under sail a local inlet during
peak tidal flow. May not sound like much but it is a white knuckler
for me and will help build confidence. Let's hear about what you hope
for this year.

We're planning a couple of cruises this summer since Mr Sails doesn't
have to teach or take any classes...first will probably be out to
Ocracoke...I would like to sail up to Manteo, but there's some pretty
skinny water up there so we'll have to see...

Its not that skinny. The key is that it is consistently skinny with no real
drastic changes. Plenty of water on Albemarle Sound. My boat draws 5" and I
have had no problems.
