I got suckered into playing this game by my efriends at shakefist.net.
My boats name is Lead Balloon and so far, I am hovering around 500th place. YAY ME!!!

It has reminded me how much I want to take sailing lessons and rekindle that dormant ability that I haven’t used since I was a young teen. I remember it was fun to sail, and I imagine that with the weather here being so much milder than in Alaska, it should be more pleasant as well, most days.
There are a few local places that give lessons, but I’m gonna have to save up several hundred bucks, and that just isn’t happening anytime soon.
Working for the guv’ment just ain’t making me rich, what’s up with that?
