While it would be more exercise, it was a metaphor.

Go to your local yacht club and find out when classes are. Start out in =
a Butterfly or a JY 16. Offer yourself up to the "rail god" on =
Wednesday nights beer can races. Beg rides on OPB's Iother people's =
boats). Buy "Sailing for Dummies" and read Chapman's Piloting.

Julia...i am brand new at this site and i just want to put in my two
cents...growing up my family sold and re-purchased the same sunfish from
our neighbors so that a decade or so of kids from both sides could learn
sailing basics... (obviously neither family related to the Kennedys) a
sunfish although not having a head sail { jib (up front) } is a great
thing to learn "points of sail" in, as well as being a dirt cheep (used
$200-500$) way out until you get a feel for this "sailing thang"... and
as for the rhetoric club here... remember sailing attracts all walks
of people... some aspire to get offshore with friends for nothing more
than a downwind run at sunset with rum and tonic in hand while others
fulfill their fantasy of being a big ruler in a little world...
good luck...CCW
