Brian,
A very wise man once said, "I've never heard a man say, from his deathbed, "I
wish I'd spent more time at the office."
Favorable breezes and magical afternoons will not wait until you decide it's
time to get out on the water. Trimming the main is a lot more meaningful and
memorable than trimming the hedge.
Another very wise and philosophical man once stated, "Use it or lose it!"
Why look to us for the decision of becoming a sailor? Would you like us to
grab you by the arm and pull you, screaming and kicking, into paradise?
C'mon! Come on out and join us for endless summer days and nights on lakes
and oceans, beaches and bays. Gunkholing. Falling asleep in the afternoon
sun and becoming another Solar Fry. Flying on the wind through the Bahamas
and wondering how Dog can go so long without peeing. Polishing and tuning
your craft to perfection on lazy afternoons. The only people I've ever heard
of that didn't think of their boats as extensions of their souls where those
who won them on game shows and never so much as got the hull wet.
That's not to mention some of the cool people you're gonna meet.
Sooo. Since you're thinking of finally getting your boat, have you thought
of a name for it yet?
