Nira,
There's a place just north of you past Dunedin on the isthmus between the
mainland and the bird sanctuary where they rent Holder's and Hobie's, both
cat and centerboard....it's not expensive, the water's pretty shallow, so
you can see where the hammerheads are and there are a lot of little cays you
can explore....they don't let you sail outside the bay, though but there's
plenty of toom in there to spend a couple of hours just dinking arouind...it
might be a cheap way for you to get started...

Hi John
Sorry dude I'm not a sailor like you are -- I'm one of those wanna be's
what the heck why lie about it. I got real sick and the dang doctor took
all our money we had saved -- kidney removal. If you remember I was a
power-boater wanting to learn sailing that's how I found this group. Now
I
just log on once in an while and tease a little and to say hi.

less than 80 words :P

So, in 100 words or less, tell us all about your last great sailing
experience of over 1 week or 500 nm. Making it real easy, it doesn't have
to
be consecutive miles.
