No Tradewinds for me ,I'm petrified of the Tad.

You'll have to eat all that gumbo...,by yourself.

If I could have manged the whole A-cat/ tradewinds thing, I would have, but tweren't in da cards. Plus, I've got a new (insert any useless thing here) I need to try out.
Have fun, and don't hit anymore boats with that Sea-Ray. grin

On topic, A-cat sailors aren't snobby ,a few are quite eccentric, but that's why Jake fits in.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
