• Summertime SAILING, That's S-A-I-L-I-N-G
  
  Yesterday, my favorite sailing partner left for home. For him, home is really where his parents live in Boston. Such is life in a college town. As a graduate/professional student, my home is here. Always here.
  
  It wouldn't be so bad, but in the summertime there is a dearth of sailing people in my vicinity. So, as I did last year, I put up little fliers in the gym that Matt and I have started going to, hoping I will get a nibble.
  
  This year, I'm restricting it to the women's dressing room, because last year when I posted a flier in the general area was when I met one of the guys who got mad cuz I already had a guy of my own. (The ad said SAILING. Not sex. Dunno what he was so mad about. How you can confuse sailing with SEX, I don't know. Heh.) Maybe this year, I'll meet some lesbians who'll get mad at me. Oh well.
  
  If I get some free time in between my exams, I may also take a trip to Houston to not only look at their residency programs but also... heh... take another ASA course. (Slowly moving up to bareboat certification.)
  
  Has anyone had any experience with both the ASA and the US Coast Guard course? Which would you recommend?
  
  

  That's a yawl in the back. I thought it was a ketch rig, but it's not, because I think that back mast is too close to the stern to be a ketch (in which the tiller lies behind the last mast). What do yawl think?
