Rick has taken on a substantial amount of travel to gain experience by sailing in the active Atlantic seaboard EC-12 Fleets. The following is an edited version of the exchange between Rick and I.

We’ve been lucky in the fact that we have not been rained out on Saturday. The weather prediction for many Saturdays called for rain, but we managed to sail and get home without any problems.
