BTW, for you guys up north, it is pronounced "p'caan", not "pee-can"!<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">The native Louisianans I knew, where they grow them, called them PEE-cans, as in <b>PEE-can pah</b>. They thought it was funny that we northerners called it p-CAHN pie.
We did not have any pecan pie but we had plenty of desserts. We had a cran-apple pie, pumpkin pie, pineapple slices and an interesting pistachio-chocolate tort (tort as in toot since if you had too much of it...that was what you wound up doing the rest of the night !).
For me, the lines and styling of a sailboat are a big part of the overall allure of sailing as my eyes are drawn to the kinds of boats one might find in a painting of a nautical scene set in a harbor. As I browse sailboat ads, I'll generally flip through the photos, quickly passing over oddly proportioned boats or those with quirky styling features, until one catches my eye, generally something with timeless classic styling, at which time I'm lured in to investigate further. From there, I'll look into the sailing characteristics of the boat as she not only has to look good, but she also has to sail reasonably well too, after all, it is a sailboat.
