Sorry if I seem like a bitch. I'm not really but this news group is just so
much like hanging out in a garage.

I have a Tangerine by Renken. It has sails and NO motor. It has no battery and
it has no instruments. It has a compass and that's all it has.

I last sailed three days ago most of the day long. I packed a picnic lunch.
I sailed in and out of the harbor and the winds were light and fickle. I didn't
have to worry about finding and connecting wires. I didn't spend any time checking
the charge of my batteries. I didn't worry about any prop cavitation. I sailed.
I anchored. I went swimming and I scrubbed the bottom. It needs new paint,
the stuff is growing fast on it.


Why the compass? Do you sail out of the sight og land?


I do most of my sailing during the week because there are way so many people
rushing back and forth in their motor boats on the week-ends.

Me too.

To me they're
just a bother and ruin the experience. I like sailing because it takes me away
from the hustle and bustle. I like getting an all over tan but no gawkers.


Most women like gawkers..Are you shy? Guess the totalnude sailing
picture is out of the question.

Happy?

No your a puppet. Who else would wanna be Ellen besides Ellen??

'Tis not the moaning wind your hear--
It is a sound more dread and drear,
A voice that calls across the tide,
A voice that will not be denied.

Cheers,
Ellen
