beating the no sailing winter blues

[jsturl]

Here I sit looking out the window looking at my sailboat and the temp is -1 the lakes are frozen solid. I spend time thinking of the days of last summer and the summers before. The days of sunshine warm winds and peacefull days on the water. I no living in North Dakota is not for everyone but it has been for me for most of my life but I do look forward to the day when sailing will be a year round sport. My wife and I are raising our twin girls up here but when they graduate it will be warmer weather and blue water and one adventure after another. Those are some of the thoughts that get me through every winter and make me enjoy every day above freezing.

Crank up the heat... Put on some board shorts and flip flops...Add some Island Calypso tunes... and make a batch of Mai Tais....
