Once Hispaniola goes in, I'll be looking to get into some cruising

That's what I like about the place - loads of variety in a small area.

yeah, of course, you betcha.

Oh, for sure. I'm comfortable with map&compass work on land,

yeah. of course. sure you are.

Bob is terrified to sail into anything.... including a wind over 20 knots or
out of the bay.

I have seen Bob sailing -- with his girls -- in winds of 30+, and gusting

I've seen Jax going backwards in a race.

That's true. We've never not gone out due to heavy winds, which has been a
mistake on two occasions.

I call bull****...no Irwin can sail in over 5 knots of wind!

I did an offshore delivery in one last year and when off watch I would catch
some zzz's, even when the winds were 40+. The boat was more than adequate.

Oh, whoopie ****in' do!! My first race on on a yacht was in 30 knots,
gusting 46 - and I loved it. There's even a photo of it happening in my
webshots album.

When do we get to see *you* sailing?
