What kind of boat do you sail? I have found over the years that I really have to be careful of going "just a bit farther" and turning a nice day into a drudgery for my family. I try to temper my enthusiasam so that I don't ruin theirs! One thing that I'm looking forward to this year is a reliable engine , in the past I couldn't count on motoring for any length of time due to a dodgy engine. I'm also expecting to gain a significant speed improvement out of the new sails. It should make for improved average speeds. We should still have good light until after 8 pm in August so there should be time for a relax at the day's end. Thanks for the input! David
