I had a few beach cat's and did some monohull racing.. Great fun.

slip fees and maintenance just got too expensive . I loved sailing, though; really miss it.

I'd sailed in the "Bear" before, but this was a 40+ mile trip each way...twist my arm

I've watched portions of America Cup television programming - so fast and dangerous without a fast, smart, knowledgeable team.

Every shot tells a story. I can feel the wind blowing across the sails and feel the boat pitching and tossing! Wonderful!
Thank you so much for sharing these.
