Hi Struther,

The hunt goes somewhat slowly but that's okay, I'm sailing for the
time being, and sooner or later, I will get my own boat!
I was out with Trevor and George on the club's Hughes 38', Sin Fin
(that's Spanish for "Without End"). A very basic boat, but sails very
well - 21 years old and still fit as a fiddle. I was up at the bar looking
for you (while having a beer :^), but didn't see you so I left (nothing
worse than drinking a beer alone). I was pulling out of the parking lot
when I saw you guys motoring through the western gap.
We had a beer, sailed the race course, had a beer, then came in. Lots of
fun! It's still a bit too basic for me, but I still manage to pick up a
few things that makes going out with a class fun and worthwhile... like how
to use Tattle Tails, how to fit a bottle of beer into a pocket without
spilling any, and that the white bouys by the airport are not there to
practise slalom sailing.
I'm definitely looking forward to the rest of the course. Once the more
basic cruising material is done with, we can get into some real serious
racing like some of those match races, or the across-the-lake-and-back
overnighters.
Cheers,
