I think I'd sail with you!


Thanks for the vote of confidence Wildman. Guess I don't have to tell you that on the water, common sense isn't all that common.

Here's a bit of trivia that my interest you as a tug captain, and Blast as a kayaker.

When I take guests on the sailboat and I'm the only one aboard that knows how to sail, I put a submersible handheld in my pocket on the theory that if I go overboard they are going to keep going to New Jersey and I will be able to call for help myself. Sometimes, strictly for the entertainment value, I will scan the channels used by the commercial vessels. Know what the tug captains call kayaks in New York Harbor?



Speedbumps.
