Jerry, A boat setup properly, where the equipment does the work, can 
make the cruising a real pleasure.  The sailors know how to use 
blocks & tackle & lines to lessen the work, remember.  Watch shimpers 
and watermen for how they let the boat do the work.  Picking your 
days (go or no go) makes the passage very enjoyable.  The boating 
community is much closer knit than the land based community.  You get 
to know some really great people.  And remember, age is a state of 
mind.  Big Blocks & Good Wind.....  Ohio Looper
