First sail of the year (video version)

[BudGates]

Lake sailing with those bothersome points of land jutting out into your path and disrupting the wind ... bah, I'm happy for our move to get some relief from those circumstances! Now, we just have to make sure we don't get our keel stuck in the sand! I can't wait for my first opportunity to call Sea Tow, with Sue chirping in my ear about how I'm not a real sailor! She'll be ready to jump ship to the nearest floating boat.

Although I've never called Sea Tow I have experienced both ocean sailing and mountain lakes. I'd have to say that I enjoy the study breeze of the ocean much better than the squirrely ever changing winds of the mountain lakes. I'm anxious for the chance to experience lakes without mountains. (15 months, 11 days, 3 hours, 52 minutes, not that I'm counting or anything.)

Pond, Lake, Sea, Ocean. Eventually there is always solid ground in the way of your boat. ;^)

Scott, you gotta tell her: "If we don't run aground, we aren't sailing enough." Didn't you move to Barnegat? We've kicked up Hobie 16 rudders on Barnegat. It doesn't get any better on the Chesapeake. And it's a requirement to run aground at least once if you try to make it to FL along the ICW. That's just East Coast coastal sailing!

There's only three kind of sailors. 1. Those that have run aground, 2. Those that will run aground. and 3. D&#$ liars.
