Title: OT: Chicago -> Mackinac yacht race

A sailplane?  Wow.  Walt, does that require a pilot's license?

My husband and I used to sail a Hobie 18.  He was a jr. champion sailor so all I did was the trim, put on the diaper, hang on to the trapeze to try to balance the boat, and scream my lungs out when a puff of wind put us sideways :)   The best part was sailing through a thunderstorm (yea, that was brilliant, sure was windy)

I miss that boat.  There's nothing like sailing.  He sold the Hobie and bought a little fishing boat.  And there's not one fish in the water off of Ft. Lauderdale that's dumb enough to bite.

    Used to own a Hobie 16. Absolute blast to sail. Sold it so I could buy a
    sailplane (a different kind of sailing).
