    Sailing/Snorkeling

    Thanks Ralph It is a privilege to serve. Glad to do it. If I am here, a soldier can spend a few more months with his/her family. I'll be a tad bit gladder when I get back and retire quietly with 27 years of service, my laser (oh.. and my family). Mike

    Sailing/Snorkeling

    Merrily Over the past few years the US Navy has been deploying individual Sailors for 6-18 months "mainly" in support roles, freeing up the Soldiers to rotate stateside to be relieved by fresh Soldiers.

    Sailing/Snorkeling

    Shipmates Thanks for the ideas. Currently I am landlocked in Baghdad. I should be back this Sept, drive from IL to NJ to pick up my Laser, then bring her back to Lake Michigan. Then I should have a couple good months of sailing left. I have a few spots I used to kayak to and snorkeled for old...

    Sailing/Snorkeling

    I am in the process of purchasing a Laser and had another newbie question. I know sailing is a joy in itself, but I also like snorkeling. How easy is it to bring down the sail once I found the right spot to dive? And to hop (plop) back in? Thanks Mike
