Default Any Dinghy Sailors Out There?

Katy,
You still have your Butterfly? Do you get to sail
it much. Stop by on your way to FL and we can
race them.

Kind of hard to carryon a Butterfly on a plane! I'll be selling it before
we move, since I really don't want to be shark bait...will probably get
something like a JY15 to gunkhole with when we move there...I flip way too
much to be comfortable sailing around carnivorous fish in a scow!

Oh yeah, bull sharks eat people here at least one every 15 minutes. Definitely
can't use a 12 foot boat. You have to have a 15 foot racing boat to be safe
from the sharks.

Wrong. There is a difference sailing a scow than sailing a JY 15....I
prefer to have my butt up out tof the water, thank you, and also to have a
more reliable boat that doesn't flip...and Florida does not publish the
actual amount of shark attacks due to scaring off the tourists....I have
stepped on a shark...I didn't know I could run that fast...

First off, Florida doesn't have to--the news does it for them. Secondly,
unprovoked shark attacks are very rare throughout the entire US, so they're
even more rare in FL.

Finally, all I'm saying is that you have a whole lot better chance of drowning
than being bit by a shark.

Actually a significant number of the world wide reported shark attacks are in
Florida. Almost all of the US attacks are in FL.

Its still more common to drown, or die from a bee sting.

That's right: FL, CA, and the Carolinas. It's kind of hard to have a shark
attack in CO or AZ.

Whatever, stay on the lakes and scream at the sight of dolphins--what do I
care.

At least your family can bury all of you if you die
from a bee sting. Being eaten alive is a horror.
