> Ferrick, I don't think you made Brunnen-G jeolous. But you both certainly make *me* jeolous. I know I have mentioned this before. I have traveled by boat in everything from a canoe to a cruise ship, but I've *never* sailed under sail. Sure, I've been on board sailing ships, but they were always tied to the dock. This has been a thorn in my side for years. I think maybe the next time I'm near the ocean, I'm going to bite the bullet, lay out the cash, and go sailing.

Next time you go on a cruise, Howard, check the brochures for the excursions you can go on at each port of call. Kaz! and I were on a short Carribean cruise once, and at nearly every port of call there was at least one outing you could go on that involved a sailboat. The excursions tend to be a little pricey, but they're all good, and pricey is what cruising is about, right?

If you're wondering, Kaz! and I did go on an excursion on a sail-powered catamaran around the reefs near Florida's Key West during that cruise, and it ruled, even though Kaz! swallowed a bunch of seawater and was slightly ill that evening. Ah, memories.
