It will be 2 years before I can affort a mid-winter sailing trip to Florida, but when that time comes I'll be happy as I don't know what to have charter Blade and go race in Tims backyard lake.

With respect to putting your cat into winter storage; I kind of like it that way. 6 months of intensive sailing and then 6 months to work-up lust and energy for the new season. So count me out till april 2006 !

Although I may take a ride on a leadsled during the winter months if the opportunity would present itself.
