It will be a beautiful weekend starting this evening, not very hot,
light west wind, perfect night sailing weather. The moon is not so
bright as to blind you so I want to go out sailing by myself this
evening. Go out to "K" tower, an air force nav tower about 25 miles
out and back, just for the hell of it. Wife goes nuts, "WHAT, get
someone to go with you, what if, blah, blah,blah." I want to effin go
alone, nobody else to worry about, I can concentrate on my sailing,
nobody to see my screw ups, etc. I have a personal 460 Mhz beacon on
my life jacket that I always wear. I tie myself to the boat. Boat is
set up for single handed sailing. I may not be an athlete but I am
not in too bad shape for a 53 yr old guy so am not likely to suddenly
have heart trouble. My back is good after a couple weeks of
exercise.
So, cannot decide whether to go and **** her off or take someone who
blathers all night about stuff I do not want to hear. Am leaning
toward just doing it. If I cannot go when and how I want, why have a
sailboat?
