All my life I've "dreamed" about retiring on a boat and sailing from here to
there, as the spirit moves me. However, my only experience is some lake
sailing, a little Gulf of Mexico experience, and four years on a destroyer
in the navy. Â*And, except for a couple of years in the 90's, most of my
sailing was done 35 years ago.

Actually, the Navy experience can be valuable. For example, the way
the Navy handles dock lines is far better than the way most cruisers
do. 'Dipping the eye' and apply chafe gear are just two examples.

For deck apes, that'll work. BT's waste a lot of time trying to light
off the sails.
