The biggest mystery in sailing, at least for me, is what direction is the wind? It seems to be changing direction quite a bit, like every couple minutes, it can change a little and sometime it changes a lot.
In the sailing world of words, are those yarn string directional aids correctly spelled as tell-tales or tell-tails?


Been loose'n sleep think'n about that lately?
Someone in Holderness has a largish 14' sailboat, out by the road with a $5000 for sale sign. It comes with a built-in solar powered battery charger and a built-in electric motor similar to a trolling motor. Something tells me that one could be a tough sell at $5000., but one never knows?
When encountering small sailboats in my motorboat I usually cut in close just to stir em up and make em a little jumpy, plus I figure it adds some excitment to their cruise. As long as you don't slice em into two, what the heck and there's nuth'n more boring than sailing with no wind?
