In return gouvernail will receive great pictures and the knowledge that he has encouraged more people to enjoy the great sport of sailing!
This is one of the most correct statements i have heard in awhile. In my school people see it as "retarded" or "gay" cause they think it is slow and boaring. This is kind of weird considering our school is on a barrier island and we are pretty much surrounded by water but people dont sail to much in the area.gouvernail said:People love this sport!!!

LOL, Yes Florida is pretty much a big giant retirement home (AKA: Gods Waiting Room). But we are home to the olympic training center for sailing in miami and the biggest youth regatta in the nation (Orange Bowl) and the big rat they call mickey mouse. so we do have some good stuff plus we have the beach which alot of places dont have. But it stinks when you have to deal with increased traffic from overly opinionated snowbirds who think they are locals cause they come down every winter and complain alot about hurricanes and things of that nature. Plus the ton of tourists and snowbirds we have to deal with can be very rude and inconsiderate.jwisenb495 said:Florida, isn't that the retirement center for the US?

sailor327 said:Yeah, but most of my freinds would prefer to do other stuff and absolutley no one sees it as a sport. They see it more as a rich old white mans sport which i have to say that i know very few laser sailors that are rich. And they dont understand that even with light winds with a group of people it can still be fun. The saddest thing is their lack of understanding.And unfortunatley our sailing center is closed for this week due to the director taking a break from a long summer of camp.
