As a matter of fact, my graduation present from my grandparents is a week for free at their condo in St. Croix. It wont be till next winter when I cash that bad boy in though.
I'm ready for a trip to the carribean. I've been goin there with my family every Christmas since I was 2 and we skipped it this year because we couldn't find any decent sailing resorts that my parents would enjoy too (meaning not having anything but waves). We went to sunsail the last two years but it went downhill last year. It's 25 degrees outside right now, it just stopped snowing after about 12 hours straight of snow, forcast for snow almost every day this week and I am sailing Saturday. Did I mention the forcasted high temp saturday is 29 degrees? But at least I know it will be windy. If you ever want to trade let me know. -Todd
ahhhhhh no thanks,,,I'll stay here in the warm caribbean,,,,but if you what to come down,,,I have a Fox just sittin,,needs to be sailed,,,,,,,,and an 18sx and a FX-One.....take your choice.....lol......
We just returned from a couple days of sailing at Rick & Mary's Place in Key Largo. The weather was great! I posted a dozen or so photos at thebeachcats.com or click on my Photo page . I'd recommend the Keys anytime! Jack Hoying Fort Loramie, Ohio
