Thanks, I get so excitable before the launch, and then its like the bad news bears. But I must like the pain, because as soon as I dock and get the boat cleaned up. Im already planning the next fiasco. Anyway Im just disappointed that I didnt get a good beam reach going before I had to hobble back. BUT NEXT TIME ohhh boy. gilbert -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces+gilbert=mindgame.com@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces+gilbert=mindgame.com@mailman.xmission.c om]On Behalf Of Seawitch Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2004 9:14 PM To: montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com Subject: M_Boats: Re: Gilbert's Maiden voyage Gilbert, I must say, I enjoyed your description of your sail. So much reminded me of some of my experiences last summer as I first launched my !5 and took a few inauspicious sails. Every trip out has been a new learning experience. Can't wait til it gets warm here and I can have a few more of them. I know I will learn something new each time! Time for a cool change!
