I am going to Vote, Here in America that is what we do.

It is a risk to get up in the morning a huge risk to drive your car to work (statistically) each morning. And the taxpayer cost of that is staggering.

the coast guard costs the tax payers the same amount weather they rescue a sailor or twenty or none.

I would have sailed in the wind because it was fun and would be a great story to tell around the campfire.

I don't care if everyone thinks I am a dumb A## for doing so.

I don't care if there is a limit to the speed a cat can go as long as it is a hoot getting it to go that fast.

I am 40 and have done many things, when I die I will not regret having been rescued by the CG (or serving in the USMC) or anything that I did, I will only regret the things I let fear stop me from doing.

Lets see the statistics on rescues from hang gliding, rock climbing, River Kayaking, mountain biking, Motocross, Walking in the woods alone.

I understand safety and sometimes I understand living life on the edge.

I would have gone sailing.
