Lovin' It!

[Hard Alee]

Ahoy,

Just completed my first sailing course - ASA 101, and ended with single handing a Capri 22 in and out of Santa Barbara Harbor.

OK, it's a start anyway. Tacking up a narrow channel filled with kayaks, paddle boards, motor boats, water taxis, fishing boats and cruisers was interesting. Oh yeah, can't forget the race with the 60 or so 12-footers. Most embarrassing moment: getting my head stuck in between the lines of the mainsheet on a particularly urgent tack (as in nearly running aground)!

I think the single handing was maybe (make that probably) the most educational part of it all!

See ya out there someday soon!

Soon you may be throwing money into a hole in the water.

Welcome to the club and the forum.

Looking for another pretty place to work on the boat.

Thanks, Cap Erict3...

Throwing money down a hole in the water, yes. I also aspire to one day be standing under a cold shower tearing up money with all a' yall!

You'll do well if you remember:

Congratulations. It sounds like you are doing amazingly well. Good work.

Sounds like you got the hook in you. It's virtually impossible to remove, so wear it with pride.

And welcome to the club!
