for him through the holidays. well...thank you...damm glad to be here..grin...it is always nice to hanf around "the dock" ( virtual being...better than nothin' ) ) for sailing info and stories... Boulder, Colorado? You wouldn't happen to know the auspicious Gilligan, would you? nope...not off hand...are they a regular here on the board? I admire any man or women that dares to soar in an aircraft without any engines. Merry Christmas! thanx...merry christmas to you as well.....what type of planes do you fly? have you logged any time in a glider yet? if not, drop by your local glider port for the 10 min intro ride...it is a kick in the pants...gives you a different perspective on aviation (imho)...esp, if you enjoy sailing...there are some un-canny sims between the two sports....happy sailing and flyin' ... |
She's a typical non-sailor who relies on an engine for her existence.
