P18 #377, "Kestrel",NJ) In days past most everyone sailed from and to docks. I didn't know how to use a motor around a dock because nobody I knew had a motor on their sailboat. A motor? On a sailboat? Those are for WHIMPS!!! Now I own two motors. For my sailboat. Never sail from a dock. Never sail to the dock. Hmmm. Where did the Real Men go?
