Is anyone else addicted to this site as much as I am, check the posts before checking thier email, or reading the news? I have a feeling I will be a total junkie once the boat is taken out of the water for the winter.

I tend to eat, drink, and even in the bathroom have a sailing book in my hand. I really think I need to go to a good therapist to see if I really have a problem. I bet this is the 20th time I have read a thread today. BTW the boat really does look good, and I am glad you got the better half out with you. Nice photos on the other site.

The Internet sure did open up the communication with people.

I am leaving for vacation in about 45 minutes. Just couldn't help myself Wish I could say we are going sailing, but alas, my wife's college roommate's daughter is getting married. Priorities for the admiral won out over the first mate on this one.

To get an accurate measure of the addiction click on a poster's name on the left margin and check out their average number of posts a day!

Last night my sister phoned and said "what have you been up to...no no wait, I mean other than sailing"
Because I had the phone on speakerphone, the admiral chimed in "He's monitoring the sailing website."

Well I wasn't, I was monitoring the weather website. Then I checked the forum.

I'm not addicted, I can quit anytime I want.

OK show of hands here, and if you read this you need to post a response, a simple yes or no will do,

Who here has a sailing book in their bathroom?

OK, I do too. I take Sailing into the bathroom, but only for the articles - not the pictures.

YES! You can't read the North U or Dave Perry books often enough. Especially during spring warm-up and pre-regatta week.

I tend to visit when I have an issue going on, or I am looking for a new project. then I may go months with no activity at all. FYI, I also visit sites for other things, such as my car (Subaru Forester), Music (tooboard.net for Grateful Dead), Cell Phones (Wirelessadvisor.net) and many many others.

Of course I do. Isn't that where they're suppose to go?

What's sad is when you've been sitting there reading so long
your legs go numb and when try to stand up you fall flat on your face.

Not that I've ever done that, I just heard it happends sometimes.
(sorry a simple response just won't do)
