hey phill, please don't apologize for being wordy and taking up our time. i for one feel much better spending my time on line seeing the results of real people like yourself and florin who share their time and talents so unselfishly than being stuck in front of the tube that alternates between crime and fantasy. The 1st makes you overly worried about going outside and living while the 2nd tends to belittle whatever accomplishments you achievement
my kids are 6 and 7 and so far on my 420 they have been either bored or scared with the result that they haven't wanted to come sailing much
but they thought my new cat was dead sexy and begged for a ride. unfortunately it was a bit windy that day so they ended up lying on the tramp clutching the main beam while waves broke through the tramp yelling SLOW DOWN
such a hot little cat in their scale would tickle them pink much the same way as having quality furniture in their size does
who was it who said, "people sail to have fun and i've yet to find anyone who found it more fun to go slow than fast"
