She's in but except for launch I haven't stuck my toe in the water yet. Just hasn't been that warm yet. Only gotten out once for a short cruise Sunday. Better weather on the way for the end of the week. Hoping for a good Memorial Day Weekend when the lake action will really ramp up.

When I took my sailing lessons in Boston last week, the instructor fell into the hahbah! No wetsuit...just jeans...and it was late in the day...6 pm. And his auto-inflatable life vest inflated!! Scary for a moment.
(I passed btw. : - ) I am now ASA certified for up to 26-feet in light-to-moderate winds. Woohoo!)

Congrats on the cert! But lets be honest now, did the instructor really just fall into the harbor by himself, or did you do a quick yank of the tiller/wheel and "help" him off?
:lol: :lol:

Cool. I love sailing. If I was to do my boating on the ocean (or bay or sound etc) I would do it under sail. Some of those boats are just beautiful. Lake sailing is a different beast but is fun as well. I like to stop on Sat/Sun mornings on Hopatcong and watch the Thistles and Stars out of the yacht club race. Winni must be interesting to sail if you can avoid the hazards.

Enjoy that lake life for the weekend. I've been to George and Winnipesaukee but not the Finger Lakes. I hear they are beautiful. Be careful boating can become addicting. (like skiing)

Been there Done that -- had boat for 25 yrs -- now enjoying OP's ( Other people's
) Hell yeah we used to water ski and ram around all summer .We also do Bolton Landing on Lake Georger every September for a couple of weeks and yeah the Finger lakes are really nice but frankly i like George and the St Lawrence specially the 1000 Island region and Rideau River /Canal system up from Ontario thru the Rideau lake chain to Ottawa-- but heall its all good
Once in a while i also crew on a friend's Pearson for some sailing --which is really fun

Honestly, it was a bit scary when he fell into the water. I had docked the boat, and he went to jump onto the pier and fell between the boat and the dock. Scared the crap outta me.
But, yeah...I suppose something worse could've happened with me at the tiller...yes, there were one or two uncontrolled jibes while I was helmsman. ; - )

Doing some last minute organizing for our spring concert tonight. Should be a very good show. We have a ton of talented seniors that I am going to miss next year. Amidst the prep for the concert, I am also trying to write sub plans so I can head to a conference Thursday and Friday.

My body woke me at 5:30 and I can't get back to bed. :sad: Spending the next two days at a conference at the University of Maine. Today I get a chance to play in a big band for a world renowned composer with a handful of pretty heavy hitters in the state. Following that, I am off to ride the University Trails.
