Hello again,
As I have some time before heading to the East Coast and joining Dave and Susan on board, I'm doing preparation and training. In recent years, I've been crewing on smaller sail boats and have a good sense of sailing basics. Never the less, I got a copy of US Sailing Association's book, "Sailing Fundamentals" to review. I also obtained a copy of the "Complete Sailing Manual" by Steve Sleight which has a great section on cruiser sailing. I'm studying each evening especially docking procedures.
I'm stepping up my daily workouts to include more free weights and I've added swimming. Just seems like common sense to increase my swimming ability for safety sake.
Finally, I've scheduled a root canal to an abscessed molar that I've been putting off for over a month. I was trying to wait until my Medicare starts in 3 months but I don't want to chance a worsening condition while on the East Coast.
