| OK, raise the sail, jerk around the tiller until wind fills the sheet. Put the keel down. You're sailing! If the wind's not pushing where you want to go, just angle your way there with a zig-zag. If you see the pier coming fast, put the sail down. If you forget..jump off. That's about it! It's not like musky fishing where you need a lot of internet instruction to become perfect?? |

Location: New Hope MN | The first step is the correct attire... Wear dress shoes with no sock, a high belt, and a sweater tied around you. Always, and I mean ALWAYS, where a polo with the collar popped. |

Or proves himself an able cox. |

You got your moneys worth this time. Sailboat Sailors know how to party at the end of the day its a camp fire, a guitar, a jug of whisky and something to smoke. and also girls diving of your front deck . Party On. were the hell is Kettle Falls ;-) :-) :-) :-) |
