Gary, I learned a lot from your quizes, thank you!

I truly learned a lot about sailing and seamanship from Gary's quizes. Each wrong answer challenged me to learn more about this activity we all love so much. Thank you Gary! Enjoy your cruise and drop us a line from time to time so that we may continue to learn from your experiences.Bob Paquin

Thanks

Gary,Thanks for the work on the quizzes over the last few years. I've enjoyed them....ok, I enjoyed most of them, but I did learn things from all of them. They also occasionally spurred some disagreement and constructive discussion, and I learned some more from that.I hope that whoever finds the time to fill the shoes makes it as interesting as you did. Best of luck on your cruising.Dan Jonas (S/V Feije II)

Thanks Gary! And have a good retirement !!!

That was a real effort all those weeks coming up with something that would get everybodys interest. Not only that, but in conjunction with your regular work.Now, getting the boat prepared for the trip north you'll be able to leave everything behind and just really enjoy life - which is what life should be about!Don't waste it... .. and may you have fair winds with a following (tidal) current! ~ john & ingrid ~

Thanks to all!

Just got back from a week's bareboat charter in La Paz, Mexico on a Morgan 41 Out Islander ketch and saw this surprise post. Thanks to Phil for the comments and to Phil and Bly for having me as a part of the team. It's been a pleasure writing the quizes every week for the last three years. I think this is a great site with very positive people contributing to it. I appreciate all of the notes of thanks.I do still plan to be active on the site. My next couple of posts will relate to what it was like to sail a big ketch down in Baja Mexico for a week!Fair winds to all.Gary WyngardenS/V Wanderlust H37.5
