i know you don't need it..but imagine 100% sailing time sails in tiptop condition...damn this wind tree it's dark and i can see the treetops bending and clouds movin' in the right direction fast..
so dont bother , see my theory is get her used to it from the start. anyways i will see what happens hopefully that will work

I'm with Arlo & Divaldo. I'm afraid this isn't a 'wife' issue, but a non-windsurfing partner issue.
I've tried everything to find the balance - begging, pleading, teaching my partner to sail, buying him gear, numerous apologies, lots of butt kissing, arranging and paying for windsurfing holidays for 2 and then tainting them with other activities in an attempt to increase their appeal, offering um... 'other' services in exchange for windsurfing time
Nothing has worked - it's always windsurfing that is compromised to keep the peace. So I've recently given up on the whole peace thing and instituted a 'windsurfing first' policy. He's welcome to come, but if he doesn't want to, I'm going alone and *won't* be made to feel guilty about it any more!
an if partners (well blokes anyway) cant hack it, pfftttt get nuva wun then plenty about, just keep your eyes open
[}:)]lucky yo pardner...he should get hypnotized...
Of course, this was after a long string of similar bail-outs.quote:
