I learned alot this year, mostly from you guys, some by experience....
1. don't nap in a shipping lane
2. 1000 ft. ore boats can come out of nowhere(see above)
3. if you have to hang onto the tiller with both hands, you might think about adjusting your rudders
4. when everyboat on the lake is screaming towards shore, you should probably double check the sky
5. pitchpole has a meaning...a very violent meaning
6. need a righting line to right a cat (see 4 and 5)
7. finally what i learned most is when in doubt, ask the smart people of the catsailor forum!
