Back in the days when I...Ah yes, very sage advice. Back in the days when I had a little 1/4 ton keelboat we used to race and cruise, my wife told me that she would come cruising anytime, but if I shouted at her once more while racing that would be the end of that. She is a real trooper though. I recall leading a passage race, short handed, shy kite reaching in gusty conditions with a dodgy downhaul jammer, she stayed to leeward hanging onto it despite regular broaches that left her waist deep in water. We needed to make about a mile to a mark to be able to free up and run for home, with the hounds breathing down our neck. Taking down the kite would have placed us maybe 4th. Thanks to her we hung onto it and won.Mike Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13608595343334341583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-266108914902271629.post-83019654730704957452015-09-28T17:38:00.646-07:002015-09-28T17:38:00.646-07:00Well, Eric, you never know.
