[Rhodes22-list] Chet: Learn to Sail

Sun Oct 29 14:56:10 EST 2006

Chet,

If you're willing to travel to warmer waters contact these folks:

I got my basic keelboat and coastal cruising certificates from Captain
Booker.  He was a great instructor and a fun person to be around. Despite
his being a bleeding heart liberal who I threatened to throw overboard at
least three times daily, the course was some of the best legal fun I've ever
enjoyed.
