Sometimes I wonder. I was actually interested in getting back to doing
some sailing, and I have this outing coming up next weekend.

Speaking of which, I know about layering. Do I need to wear something
special as far as footware goes? I know not to wear something that'll
scuff the deck, but should I go buy some boots or would tennis shoes
do?

Tennis shoes should be fine. 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.

Here's some really good advice:

Call the folks with whom you'll be sailing. Ask *them* what they
prefer you to wear and what would provide enough warmth.

They probably have some good ideas.
