wow, CONGRATS!! always a huge fan of fellow sailors

ok ok not that I'm a "sailor" by any means, but my Dad and his family have quite accomplished behind the tiller of a sailboat, and I finally went through the San Francisco OCSC training course last July. I can't wait to get out there again!!
BTW- have you guys noticded the interesting parallel between driving and sailing? Consider many of the F1 drivers, for example, David Coulthard, a semi-pro sailor. Somehow, despite the radical speed differences of track racing and sailing, I for one feel that the two sports convey an equally thrilling sense of exhilaration, wouldn't you have to agree?!
Then again, it could just be because I've got a warped perspective from sailing in SF Bay
