You probably don't need the $200. version some here like..... http://ca.binnacle.com/index.php?cPath=15_379 I'm sure you can do better price wise down there. I found some one the west marine website. I'm thinking about it, but I don't sail that often. Looks like they have some for about $50, but they don't have laces? That's odd. -- Nom=de=Plume |

Although, if you really want to impress, get a pair of cheap boat shoes, for your feet of course, and a cotton fishermans knit sweater to tie around your waist. Forget the white cap with patent leather brim and crossed anchor emblem. That's just too lubbery. Have fun and come back and tell us old salts all about it. ;-) I have a bunch of ski clothes, so I think I'll just bring layers. My feet get cold pretty easily, so I might just spring for the $50 boots. -- Nom=de=Plume |

I wear the Nike Mesh Sandals, look and fit like sneakers, dry like sandals.. Many manufacturers are carrying them now, I recommend them to everybody... Something like this: http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/pr...ductId=2823706 &cp=2367438.2367454.2866814.2866816 or look through these for the "sneaker styles".. http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/fa...goryId=2867041 I love the support and footing these provide on the boat, or walking in and around shallow water. Good luck, and tell us the tales of the sea when you get back.. I think it's a Ranger 33. It sounds nice, and they know a lot about sailing, so it should be fun! I like the idea about extra socks. I was just going to put a couple of extra pairs in a big ziplock. -- Nom=de=Plume |

"Jim" ""tj\"@florida,com" wrote in message ... Sweetcheeks, you have your bloomers all wedged up. Lighten up. Forget about politics for a while. Tell us about your boating adventure with that older couple. After all you signed on here to discuss boating, didn't you? That has to be the most sexist remark ever posted here. Congratulations Flatulent Jim. You've finally discovered your one true talent. I'm hoping he isn't going to make a corset remark. Sorry, stupid pun. It's strange that both you and Donnie find offensive a comment about bloomers, yet a comment such as the following is acceptable: "He was the bendover and pick up that soap boy when he was in the navy." John, these guys are intellectually dishonest, why bother with them? Like my friend Joe said years ago.. "There are givers and takers in this world, these guys are takers"... Guys like this have no useful qualities in society.. I didn't say anything to Harry. He picked up on a comment I made to Bloomers. SORRY SIR!!! I will drop and give you 20... uh, would you settle for say, 10 ?? snerk I can remember when I could drop and do 20 in a heartbeat. Probably couldn't do it any more. I just tried. Made it to 7. Whew. -- John H I can do 10 pushups... no problem (yes, without using my knees). I can't do pullups though. I get about 3/4 of the way and that's it. Yabut. Can you clean fish? Yeah, but why would I want to when I can buy it cleaned in a store? You are not a fisherperson? |

Ask *them* what they prefer you to wear and what would provide enough warmth. They probably have some good ideas. -- John H |
