March 5, 2010 still counting the days until Spring and sailing happens

Spending the weekend with the 4 grandchildren. Taking them to the Milwaukee Zoo tomorrow. Tomorrow is a free day so the zoo will more than likely be very crowded. The weather is supposed to be a little warmer with sunshine most of the day so it should still be fun. Maybe we will see the Polar Bear out and warming itself in the sun.

If you are new to sailing here is a website that shows some basic knots

This website even has a link to other knot websites. The knots were documented by Mark Rosenstein. It has step by step instructions and illustrations
