I don't know what came over me. I'm a happily married man. I was home last night having a few reds while fitting a new adjustable outhaul to my boom and I noticed a bit of salt buildup around the rear collar. Now being an enviromentally conscious person, I don't hose down my gear or anything like that. Well I was a little concerned and I guess the reds were clouding my judgement a little but next thing I knew I was showering with my boom. Luckily the wife was out otherwise I'd have had some explaining to do. I guess I'm officially a windsurfing tragic. I think I need help.
