 SB> I was thinking about going sailing. Does anyone have any tips?
In a high wind and being a novice sailor, you should get 
plenty of tips!  
Seriously, try renting a boat in a small, warm lake for your 
first outing.  Should you do tip over, you won't mind the 
dunking.  (Sequim Bay is about 45 deg!)  
Also, at least read a beginners book on sailing.  Take a course 
if you can find one in your area.  The local yacht club here 
trains some 90 or more sailors a year, including adult classes.  
The main thing is to have fun and continue to learn.  No one 
ever can know all there is about sailing, which is why it is 
always fun everytime out there.
