Ken S. Tucker writes: Ok, have you ever been in a sail boat? No. Well you must try it. Your doing a tack with the sail fully stable suckin' energy from the wind, cuttin' water and bouncin' waves off the starboards, that's the sound you hear. Next, you reverse tact and the sail flutters (stalls) until re-acquistion of stability going in nearly the opposite direction and you're still heading into the wind, so the net motion is into the wind. Every pilot should do that. I was on trapeze, with a good fat old captain on the til, and me being a skinny lively bitch loved jumped to either side of the boat, pulling the sail to max the energy out of the wind. Regards Ken PS: Read about it. |

Not really, I *was* 36-26-40, didn't know that until some fella asked me to be his best man and the fitters couldn't believe how skinny my waist was, doing the tux thing, man I was centered out! My friends started calling me Katy (KT) and makin' fun of me, but it was all in good humor. Ken |

Well you must try it. I can't swim, which is bad if you intend to go out on the ocean in a tiny boat. |

Could be bad even if you go in a BIG boat. That has occurred to me, which is probably why I'm unlikely to go on a cruise (even though I've been told that the best cruises are quite nice). "She can stay afloat with the first four compartments flooded, but not five--not five." |

"She can stay afloat with the first four compartments flooded, but not five--not five." Swimming is something you could learn with little trouble Anthony. Not much cost involved I would think. I'm a lousy swimmer myself, but can get along well enough not to drown. For cruises, I pay very close attention to the life boat drill :-)) -- Dudley Henriques |
