My GF first started sailing with me after we met. Did some fun sailing and serious racing. Now after getting married she'll only sail with me in the fun stuff. Something to do with an aversion to spinnakers <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> No worries though...I have a consistent, die-hard, experienced crew to sail with in the serious stuff. But bless my wife's heart, she wants to take sailing lessons so that she can better understand the ins and outs of sailing. Definitely a keeper <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
