While I was out in a Safety Boat for today's club regatta, my wife sat in the picnic shelter out on the point, enjoying the weather and the view of the boats on the water.

A young man came out and joined her and said he had just moved here from Chicago, and had sailed as a kid. Now he was looking to buy a boat and for a good place to sail. She gave him the spiel on the club, and told him about our bulletin boards with boats for sale. She gave him my name as a contact for questions, and he said he would probably join, based on her friendliness and helpfulness.
