New sails don't matter. Except that new

sails are fun like a child playing dress up. It's like Christmas every time you up haul one up. It's a badge saying you love your boat and it's a sign to everyone that your wife supports what you're spending the family budget on. New sails let you highlight your craftsmanship. They make the boat look better and sail faster. In other words, they put the star on the top of the tree! Every time someone I know gets a new sail I say congratulations. Especially if he has owned the boat long enough for it to be a second set. Then it's a milestone as well. So Tom, congratulations! Enjoy your party this spring.

We're moving Brendon to a new marina this morning. It's really a new marina and has all the bells and whistles. Nice docks, a pool, Jacuzzi, restaurant and it's only 6 minutes from the boat to our downtown condo. Life is good! It's the first time on the boat other then to sit on it sense my knee surgery so it's somewhat of a milestone for me as well. Baseball season is starting and we're only three blocks from the park! Action all around! I'm Happy, happy!
