I want to, but I doubt my boat, nor my sailing skills, are ready.



I actually learned to sail and race mono's at Tred Avon YC, and only recently gotten into Catamaran sailing. My H17sport would fair well against 16's and prindles, but against any spi boats, I'd get wasted if the bay-crossing was downwind.



I really don't know what kind of water snakes they are. One time I flipped my laser over there around the strand beach and they didn't bother me. They like to crawl up on the rocks next to the beach and sun themselves then swim out and chase ducks. They like to eat the rats that live in the rocks I suppose. I'm making Oxford sound like a horrible dirty place, when its not, Its my favorite town on the planet... its like a mini-Annapolis without nearly the amount of tourists, traffic or commercialization. If you have a chance, go walk out to the entrance to the town and eat at Latitude 38. Its pretty damn good food. Although, sailors will probably opt for the informality of Pier Street, which is just as good imo.
