Avast Mr. Redmond! Smooth Seas make for HAPPY SAILORS and HAPPY WIVES! There's something to be said for serving and enjoyin' lunch in smooth seas (2 footers) on a bright warm sunny day, with 10 knot winds , the 'self-steering on and just kickin' back. Aye matey! Man does not live by Proverbs alone!!!!! Keep on trimmin', fair winds to ye! Victah the Skippah! West Coast Florida.
