Fred and Jeff,
In your exchanges you are each doing exactly what we all need.
And Rebecca's words should remain final.
But don't forget to sail. Just sail.
Today it was like whitewater rafting. 25-30 & Gusty and all alone.
The climb to windward is like soaring in a sailplane.
O.K., you've got altitude:
ride and gybe, reaching fast and except for breathing saltwater,
you could be flying.
