DON'T GO AWAY. I love to hear nautical talk. Don't understand a word of it, but it sounds cool. The only sailing thingy I have ever been on was something which I think was called a 'five-oh'. Was in San Francisco Bay. I was on the trapeze (? long rope or steel wire with a thingy at the end and hanging out level to the water with my feet on the rim of the boat). Was somthing to do with 'catching more wind'. I had no idea what the hell I was doing. I ended up in the water and all I could think about was fish with triangular fins. That was my sailing adventure. Went with two buddies named Bob and Richard. Oh, yeah, I was referred to as the crew.
