It's been almost two years since I last had spark out, that dry spell (sorry) ended yesterday.

Sailing! There is nothing like sailing with the sheet in hand!

Re: sailing spark, Again!
Indeed! it felt very good to be at the tillar again. Unfortunately, even though I am on vacation, it will be some days before I can get out again. I refuse to take out my rather high strung dinghy on days when the gusts are over 20 mph. I do not enjoy swimming all that much and I really would rather not wind up knee deep in the mud.

I used at times two 5 gal containers, full of water, one on each side of the centreboard case. It has some real effect!
