Hey Simple Simian,

When you are sailing comfortable with double reefs in 45 knts, please
send a pictureG

Will do! But the picture will have to be taken with the camera pointed
downwind so as to not subject it to too much spray.

S.Simon - 45-knot-wind sailing is exhilarating

It's post like this which confirm Neal's lack of experience and amateur status
.....course, considering his all ready proven poor ability at weather
predicting, he could get caught in 45k .... in Tampa Bay.
