TAWD,
Good Luck on yo saylin adventure.
Remember all those things we lernt in the old days.
10 If you sail by a dude fishing from a boat it is ok, If he is standing up and there is no boat around, pull up you daggerboards.
9 Beer goes flat in a camelback.
8 Bring a spare rear window for the van when you wife drives the trailer.
7 My big puffy sail is bigger then your big puffy sail.
6 Sailing towards the dark clouds because you are hoping for more wind is not always a good thing.
5 Dog-town coffee is a bad idea for breakfast
4 Always bring cash in case you get demasted at a topless beach full of Dutch hotties with a bar.
3 Enter wide exit close is a bad idea when the mark is a jetty.
2 When the wind is blowing so hard little bits of you jib are tearing off it is too late to buy a better roller furler
1 Boats go faster with the pointy end up.
Cheers,
Eric Anderson
