Me, too. You have a gift for expression, Connie. I forwarded your description to my wife, a self-described "sail babe", which means she's not a sailor, but likes to go along for the ride. It looks like that area has a lot to offer us both. It occurs to me that your post is a good start for a "Places to Sail" article in the SCA. What do you think?

All sailing is good; some is better than others on any particular day; and some can be downright miserable, until you are in a snug harbor, the hook is down; you've combed the salt crystals out of your eyebrows after a hard passage, built a Martini, and dinner is soon to be served, in your now quiet and safe little world.
