The hot pink velour jumpsuit makes me think of the Target commercial with the blonde in the red velour jumpsuit.

Lately, I've been reminding myself that there are a lot of people out there who are sailing along very nicely with only an iota of experience, and this makes me feel a lot better.Laura and Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03896070726300067146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230081621541501390.post-25459949046859049812010-11-23T16:26:48.918-05:002010-11-23T16:26:48.918-05:00Travis and I made a rule to never ever start screa...Travis and I made a rule to never ever start screaming at each other while doing anything on the boat. This was after we nearly killed each other on our first sail on a small 27' that we knew nothing about. Those situations , (anchoring, docking etc) can be so stressful, that now, to calm down, I pretend that I have done whatever we are about to do, a million times before. This seems to give me some composure, and I find myself calmly waiting for the approaching dock for example, rather then anxiously running back and forth around the deck, like I used to.Travis and Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895001344144858314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230081621541501390.post-22862757688978725202010-11-23T11:44:13.942-05:002010-11-23T11:44:13.942-05:00Cyndi, you are far from being an idiot!

And I'm pretty sure that after reading about some of the stuff we've done, a lot of people really wonder if Hans and I should be allowed on the water!Laura and Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03896070726300067146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230081621541501390.post-66511661855370082802010-11-23T11:00:37.474-05:002010-11-23T11:00:37.474-05:00Oh Laura, I still say you should write a book one ...Oh Laura, I still say you should write a book one day! I can just see you, like Snoopy perched on top of his doghouse with his typewriter, sitting on top of the cabin of The Knotty Cat with your trusty laptop, beginning your book..."It was a dark and stormy night...." :o)<br /><br />I love reading your tales of adventures aboard 'The Cat'... it gives me a perversely good feeling knowing there are people out there (the ones you write about) that are bigger idiots than I am!
