Dave,
My left shoulder, I think it's the rotator cuff.
Got into a blow alone started to furl the genny and
the shoulder said no way. One arm, tiller between my knees and lots
of fun. But I really haven't sailed all that much the last couple of years.

Pat,
I'm sorry to see you folding up. As an octogenarian I'm finding it
increasingly difficult to climb around, particularly on the cabin top and
going forward but I wouldn't give the boat up for anything. I'm fortunate
with a good crew, much younger. I stay in the cockpit and let them do the
work. I just steer and advise. It's nice to be in that class. I tried
it alone last year, taking out some inexperienced adult guests from across
the street. It was a lot of work to get the boat ready. Bringing the
boat into the dock was ok, the guest jumped or got off the boat on to the
dock, grabbed the life lines to pull the boat into the dock, the boat
drifted away from the dock, he was spread eagle and plopped into the
water. It took three helpful hands to raise him out of the water back
onto the dock. I now only take out inexperienced guests with at least one
of the crew on board.
We race, as regularly as we can; and, that keeps me lively, and the crew
tuned up. They buy the beer, I furnish the ice.
Stay with it as long as you can!
