Shail away

Went sailing with Terrin in nasty wind. Passed my man overboard, which is sooo freakin hard to do! I hope I never ever have to do it for real. In the ocean/or sea, I guess according to Terrin, if someone falls overboard, you only have a 20% chance of finding them again. Racers wear GPS to increase the chances. There's some movie out about that now, lost at sea or something. Hmm. I also learned how to do a quick stop. Hope never have to do that either that's freakin hard too. You break by creating tension between the Jib and the rotter. Yuck. I did get better with the whole thing and the driving of the boat. I didn't screw up on rigging the boat either, and I'm approved for the big racing class now. Yippie!
