Don't let some annoying, Holier Than Thou spotlight grabbers give em all a bad name! I have to comment on L&A: the "attitude" adjustment is highly welcome but WTF with their need to put bikini clad women on the cover of every single print issue? Not a prude here, but definitely feminist, and... god, I sound like a whiner...but frankly I find it demeaning. I'm a partner in my boat, I Will Do Anything He Can, women are not the bow bimbos. (which is now starting to sound really defensive ridiculous. hey at least I have a little perspective! and let's face it... the bikini days? OVER for me. a while ago). :-) OK, so I have to confess to knowing and truly loving some major Salts. Don’t let some annoying, Holier Than Thou spotlight grabbers give em all a bad name!

Not Real Sailors (tm). I remember sitting in a Strictly Sail seminar on anchoring. A member of the audience asked a question about how the speaker's recommendation would work with a cat on a bridle. The response? "I would never cruise on a cat. They break anchor. Not a serious boat to consider for cruising long term." "Bhuhuh? Really?" says Toast currently typing while bobbing at anchor on a cat. We early on discounted the Salts because to a man, they found out we bought a cat and told us we were nuts. Not Real Sailors ™.
