...or when you open the ashtray/change tray in your truck and find a bow-shackle.

After watching Lionel Messi play, I realize I need to sail harder.

I used to put my drain plugs in there while not "in use"

Andrew,
I thought the tie with the life jacket was forward thinking fashion statement, with the french cuffs and collar bar you the man

Mock my sense of "style" all you want.. as long as you keep inviting me over for dinner... mock away!

PS you think it's easy tying a tie with a pfd on? [Linked Image]

When you have to send emails to classmates trying to get notes from a class you spent the entire time playing tacticat in rather than paying attention.

Worth it.

When you can't park the cars in the driveway for the cats.

When people driving by your house keep stopping to ask if you have boats for sale.

Amazing that code enforcement hasn't noticed us yet. Supposedly, in the Keys, you aren't allowed to have more than one boat in your yard.

you have more sailboats than cars.

... and they get priority for garage space in the winter.

You know you've got it bad for sailing when...

Your garden implements are left outside so your enclosed storage can be used as a sail loft.
You have pictures of your boats, not of your family, on the walls
You have so many regatta T-shirts that you find yourself reminiscing about a race whose shirt you are using to polish your boat.

oh wait...
When a cute catamaran bath toy comes out, several people you know give you one so you have redundant cute catamaran toys for your bath.
You have cute catamaran bath toys actually IN your bath.

For your anniversary, you and your husband exchange sailing equipment gifts.

You have company and they have to step over the rolled-up sails in the living room.

Your dining table carries the scars of sail repair... acetone lifted the stain/lacquer... 5200 splotches... gouges...

You have two sewing machines, one just for sails, the other will do sails and clothes.
