United just won the World Cup. I finally got my sea legs today. I tested
my sea legs by doing a page of homework and then going below and playing
computer games. Unfortunately I'm having ice cream withdrawal, but I
finally know what I'm going to spend the money on that I have been saving -
a lifetime supply of ice cream and another freezer for Poppy's boat so the
next time I go sailing I can have ice cream.
Anyway, back to the sailing. We didn't exactly cruise along today, we
averaged 4-6 knots. We finally put up the Parasailor, which is a very big
spinnaker with a wing in the middle of it. The wing helps the sail be more
stable. So far we haven't had any incidents where the sail has fallen down
like last time - yet. But like they said in Life of Brian: "look on the
bright of life." So it seems like every downside of every situation
there's always and upside and vice versa.
