I don't need to lose weight, but I did quit smoking so that I could sail with the kids.

My 13 year old daughter crewed for me at the Jetty Park Ocean Regatta two weeks ago. She has been practicing as crew for the past year. It was my first race since 1986.

Its great to see other Dad's sharing the sport that we all love so well.

If you ever get to Punta Gorda, FL, look me up.
