Me? I've been suffering a slipped disc and have added a grand total of 7 hours sailing time to my logbook and most of that was in a nice big, safe boat that didn't require any gymnastics to sail.

I hear you loud and clear DM... I have been sidelined with shoulder surgery, not once but twice in the last three years... (I never stepped on a boat the summer after the first operation 'cause I knew I would not be able to 'behave' myself to my MD's orders)... I still can not race (in sailboats) because of the 'herky jerky' motion, 'slow and steady' has been the rule lately. I've been enjoying my kayak alot this year (slow and steady), which helps rebuild the muscle, and the racing from the 'other' point of view of the Race Committee boat... which has landed me a request to be our club's Race Committee Chair-person for next year! 8-0! My poor Hubby, I can see it now! ... Did he do the dishes last night? EEEENT.... he lost!, Did he take out the garbage?? EEENT... he lost again!!... laundry?...walk the dog? vacuum the livingroom??.... oh dear.... the poor guy......
