I really hate a spell checker that changes words, although after 50 miles or so on a fiberglass bench seat something to dull the pain would be good. Spell checkers don't do well with sailing terms. Another advantage of cockpit cushions is they provide a little more leg room, in my opinion.

The cockpit cushions I ordered for the Tx200 arrived a month after the event, which is why we used a quarter berth cushion.

When you are lining up crew next year, don't forget to mention the new cushions! :-)

I'll have to remember that. Should be a plus.

Well… A long downwind leg like that would probably drive me to drink. It is definitely not my favorite point of sail.

In a long, narrow waterway such as the Santa Rosa Sound, it's a hell of a lot less work and a hell of a lot faster way to get there than 97 tacks on a beat to wx like we had going the other way the day before ... ;-P

Yeah, but like KC says, it was the perfect typo for the topic!

I agree, it was a typo that worked well.
