ORIGINAL: USS America Go find a stiff breeze and spend some time teaching your new mutt to enjoy the motion of a boat under sail. You betcha, Mike. Bit different here from Cali. Knew that but it didn't internalize. There's the big boats and then there's the local boats. The big boats are just big boats - here, there, OZ, Med, Baltic - boat's a boat. Local boats are way cool; way more dinghys and in-yo-face class stuff. Mobile Bay has a championship series in FJs for goodness sake, where yacht clubs compete for a little silver tea tray, using Olympic sailors. OMG !! am I diggin this? !! Sold the mid-size, kept the J, schlepped her off to Fairhope. Probably the wrong boat; an Etchells would have been better, but still a nice platform for the new dog to get her sea legs on. [ed] Abby used to wander about in the pre-start maneuvering, crap on the foredeck at the first gun, and then go below. Hope she isn't a good teacher.
