Dave,
Your comment about taking people out reminded me of a day on North Myrtle Beach when I was dragging the boat towards the water. A fellow asked if I could use his help and I said yes, and asked if he would like to go sailing. He agreed. I always ask 2 questions before I take anyone out, 1. Can you swim? and 2. Have you ever sailed?. He could swim but hadn't sailed so my thought was: this will be exciting for him. As we sailed out I asked him what he did. He said among other things he flew F-4 Phantoms in the Air National Guard. So much for excitement. I don't know if he got hooked on sailing but he did enjoy it.
