Sailing became part of my life in '83 at 37. I'd flown model airplanes for ten yrs and our son was ten and the owner of the airfield had declared for liability reasons, that children weren't wanted at the flying field. I knew I needed to be doing something with my son and we talked about the options and bought a beach cat.

The family camped and my son and I raced the cat for five seasons. I solo (mostly) day sailed for another five years with the Hobie and with an aging body found a very clean C22. Sailed it only three years and with Great Lakes crusing now having hooked me, the C250 was chosen for trailer crusing. It and I have been together now ten years.

Looking forward to as many more as health and spirit allow.

Five years ago, I did resumed flying the models when discovering that many of my old friends had gotten back into it...

Happy birthday, and many happy returns! Have a nice Memorial Day weekend. Will you be out on the boat? Our sailing club has two cruises this weekend, an "away cruise" at Clear Lake, about 100 miles NW of Sacramento, and a "home cruise" at Folsom Lake. I'll be at Folsom.

Retired yet? That's what makes getting over-the-hill worthwhile!

Here's to many more!

Happy Birthday Arlyn!
I enjoy reading your helpful posts and your great website. When I first became interested in sailing last year, your website was the best information I found on the cat250. I was able to get mine last October, I sail at Lake Ray Hubbard near Dallas, TX. I also enjoy flying R/C with my two boys, but I cannot get them interested in Sailing.
Thanks for all your posts in this forum.

My best wishes to you as well. I too am a Remote Control Flyer and have been the President, VP and now on the board of directors of our club:

http://www.americanturfflyers.com

Just wish I had gotten the bug earlier. I am now 55 and we just bought our first sailboat in March. It is the Antares and is a C-25. We love sailing and I am not sure if I will continue flying RC. I have 6 flyable planes, 1 NIB, and lots of equipment that I might be selling at the club. Should be able to get enough for a new mainsail... yep I am a full boat owner now ;-)

Happy Birthday!
I kind of backed into sailing too. My brother owned an airstrip in Olympia Wash where he flew his own planes. I tagged along with him, and for some crazy reason, he and I started getting more interested in boats. He ended up building a little 1/2 scale tugboat he used for fishing and I got the bug for things with sails.

We wish you good health and many more happy returns on the water.

Happy birthday! From the land of 90-somethings who are still playing tennis and actively boating, you've got a long way to go baby!

Steve (definitely not one of the 90-somethings!)

Here's to another good 60 years

I just turned 55 and just can't understand when folks say we should slow down. Say what?

60 ain't no thang. Made it last year. Ask my buddy Paul Zell who is at least 60. He is at the boat three days a week.

Congrats,

Ditto all the congrats and thank you's. I've got 13 years on you, Arlyn, so cut me some slack when I get too testy, ornery, and/or ill tempered. Hope my contributions to the Forum, while a mere shadow of yours, are more positive than negative.

Happy Birthday To You, We're Glad God Made You!!

It seems we've been down the same path. This was in '98.

Thanks to all for the nice birthday greetings.

Today I flew the plane built thirty years ago during the American bicentenial, it is now half my age.

Of course I was out of RC for half of those years or it may not have survived... though it does have a good bit of flight time.
