I wonder if there will be a renewed interest in sailing?


I switched in 2006. Used about two gallons of gas last year.



I have found I run my engine at a lower rpm, just enough to stay on
plane. I also do not "cruise" up the lake just for the fun of it. I
might anchor off an island and spend the entire weekend at anchor.
There is normally a friend rafting up with us, with a runabout pulling
the kids in the tubes and waterskis.
