Thanks Rose. I was wondering how they did that.

Don't you have a sail boat? How many NNBMers can it hold? <g>

Do you go out on it often?

Tell me a sailing story. I think Polvie might be tired of telling me stories.
Last night, by coincidence, on one of the obscure cable channels called OLN, I watched a little bit of a yacht racing show.
It was pretty cool.
I saw how they try to position themselves to block the wind from the opponents and some of the strategies.
Those boats cut right through the water.
Huge sails on some of them. Is the Spinaker the big puffy one that you use when the wind is at your back?
I imagine you can build up some incredible speed when using that sail.
