• Feminine Products for Sailing

  Last weekend was gorgeously sunny and windy (15-20 mph, as usual!) in the canyon. So I decided to take my sailboat out for a dip. I knew where my sailbag was. (That was one of the first things I unpacked when we moved down here.) I had another bag with all the necessary lines. Rudder, tiller, and daggerboard were already in the boat, as was the oar and the bailer. I hitched her up! I was ready to go!

  I zipped down to the boat ramp, and in my excitement, it took me 10+ tries to back that damn trailer down the ramp. I got out and looked, and realized, I’d forgotten the plugs.

  Thank goodness, I always keep a well-stocked first aid kit in my car, which included a couple of tampons.

  Playtex works pretty well, but I think O.B. would have been easier to put in.
