Also the people you meet -- I want to start hanging out at marinas just to meet people like that crazy single-hander we talked to.<br /><br />The amount of laughing I got out of the taming-the-sail comment more than made up for how much of a pain it was at the time.Robbie Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08204676061897007201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3709008761714639851.post-22325707032616552832010-04-14T13:26:27.438-07:002010-04-14T13:26:27.438-07:00Hey Erick!

You've got a lot of zeal!<br /><br />In all of my sailing and reading about sailing I don't ever think I've heard a funnier one liner as "we tamed the sail by beating it down with the boat hook."

So, we're just learning and we didn't realize that you could cross over Florida to the East coast. Thanks so much for the info. We're learning so much thanks to others like yourself. Since we're from Louisiana, this sounds like a route we may eventually take. Glad your engine held up.Ken n Cherylhttp://www.mid-lifecruising.comnoreply@blogger.com
