But the real limit for me is Kimie's willingness to join me, and I fear her limits differ from mine.Pandaboniumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352197350806179930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1360557762116828277.post-21458448407349908342010-11-08T00:39:06.965-05:002010-11-08T00:39:06.965-05:00You should feel guilty.

We keep our boats in year-round though few people actually use them except for the occasional afternoon drink and a hot stove at the dock.<br /><br />Winter sailing is special for me because I might be the only boat in sight on an otherwise overcrowded bay.<br />When I lived further north and raced on the Puget Sound my skipper only sailed the winter season because you could depend on good wind.<br /><br />Aging --- you had to bring that up, didn't you?!?dorymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16077373149267825091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1360557762116828277.post-3379170466728556192010-11-07T23:46:37.963-05:002010-11-07T23:46:37.963-05:00Foul weather gear is for wet, but do you often get...Foul weather gear is for wet, but do you often get ice? I believe the Northwest is maybe a bit more forgiving than the Northeast in winter. Plus, I'm getting older and don't feel like toughing it out like I used to. Waaaaaah.

Most of the summer I envy you all for the variety of sailing and festival opportunities you share but this time of year I get the smug feeling that if I care to work hard enough the sailing season has just hit it's peak here on the left coast.
