Sitting in the executive suite, also known as the bathroom, Kadizzle gazed at a picture of his good old S2 sailboat. Few things in life have brought so much pleasure. If you haven't sailed, you have not experienced the magic of sailing. When a six ton water sled starts to move with no noise and like a magic hand is pushing it there is no other sensation that can compare. A sailboat silently moving through the water has a calming effect like no other.
Sailing is an art. Any idiot can make a power boat go where it wants. A sailboat is entirely different. A sailboat is cooperation between man, the wind, and the water. Sailboats are like living beings. A Sailboat in a storm is entirely different from a sailboat in the nice breeze.
Every sailboat has it's own personality, and acts differently in different winds. Working with your sailboat and knowing how it will act can save you in a storm. Not knowing your boat can get you killed.
The man who bought our old S2 invited Kadizzle to sail it this summer. Perhaps Kadizzle will take up the offer.
