I use to snow ski. A friend and I took a trip to Colorado and stood in lift lines most of the day after spending big bucks for the privilege. But,, that's not the part that got me sailing. What got me to quit skiing was that we were laughed at because we were wearing jeans and still had last years style ski boots.

I don't need that crap so I bought a Hobie 16, put it on the roof of my van and headed to San Filepe in the Sea of Cortes.

That was much better! Oh, yeah, my father had an old Chris Craft also.
