Set the chute in about 15 knots...that'll do it. It apparently worked for Wendy. [/quote]

Well, that certainly got my attention. I thought 'I have GOT to get me one of these!' I was determined to do what it takes to learn. My current plan is to:
a. learn how not to kill myself or anyone else.
b. get a boat (say an F16 maybe) that I can handle alone if I need to.
c. Spend time on it.
What do you think? Will that work?
