Excellent advice - thanks.

I like sailing with her ... we'll slowly work ourselves into situations that require more coordination, patience and trust. She loves being out but is not as interested in the physical act of sailing as I am. She is learning as I learn because we want to visit distant places and we need to trust each other. I will limit heeling to 20 degrees because anything above this is usually inefficient and uncomfortable. Thanks ALL for the wonderful advice and fun stories ... I love it!
