    Laser Sailing Days Over

    Paul, Hang in there! Bad back days may yet turn out to be temporary. You could be back in action in about 3 to 4 months. Give yoga a try. Under a knowledgable tutor ofcourse. Ravi

    Nice Pic Gouv. And hoping to meet you all some day! But today is Sunday and it's sailing day. It's also nice and bright. Promises to be very hot too. 100 F. Light winds at about 6 to 8 Kts. Ocean is the place to be!
