I loved it! You have some enviable childhood memories. I sailed a small boat on LI Sound several years. I know what your are talking about when it comes to luffing, fluffing and Whee! But you haven’t “lived” until your boat “turns turtle” from too much Whee! and you end up under water wrapped in your sail and lines, then righting her by standing on the center board.
I like sailing very much, too.

The photos are excellent. Plainfield is great, but I do so much miss the sea.

Jacques

I wish I could offer something that would dovetail your adventures at the sail,however,that would not be remotely possible being the landlubber I have always been. I can identify with the emotional feeling of excitement in being a 14 year old and fishing with Donald. Donald was part of my Vermont Family I met them when I was 14 years old and found out he was quite the fisherman. The experience began with he saw me at Onota lake in Pittsfield and invited me to come into his boat and fish with him. Well it just so happened I soon discovered his habit of leaving for the lake at 5am . He lived next door to us,so I would just happen to be up at the same time with my fishing pole in full view and hanging in our shared driveway. I would get the usual offer. “Hey want to go fishing#8221; Need I say more. Many years of of great friendship and wonderful experiences were to follow.
