"...There is NOTHING - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats. Simply messing about in boats - or WITH boats. In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's the charm of it. Whether you get away or whether you don't, whether you arrive at your destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get anywhere at all, you're always busy and you never do anything in particular. When you've done it, there's always something else to do, and you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not.

The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame - The Water Rat

TARANTELLA

Tarantella is an RL-24 sailing vessel.
She is a fast trailer sailor. Robert Legg on the Gold Coast of Australia manufactures the RL-24.

I sail Tarantella on Heron Lake N.M. The beautiful New Mexico Sailing Club Marina sits on the lakes eastern shore.

Tarantella has sailed with very special crews:

My grandson - The young Captain Takis who I can't get the tiller out of his hands.

My 76-year-old sister Erna and nephew Mike. Erna looks ten years younger in the photo of her sailing at Heron. As for Mike sailing was part of a major transition summer for him.

My daughter Laura who knows her way around sailboats and the world.

My many special friends who have sailed on Tarantella.

Sometimes with just myself enjoying my passion for it all.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. . .
Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
- Mark Twain

For whatever we lose (like a you or a me) it's always ourselves we find in the sea.
