When it's in his face, it's slowing him down and he curses the wind.<br /><br />When it's at his back, he still feels 'apparent' wind in his face, boasts about how strong he is feeling that day, and, again, curses the wind.<br /><br />When he first tries a sailboat, suddenly his nemesis the wind is doing all of the work for a change.<br /><br />Only a former cyclist would continue to put up with all of the grief the wind causes sailors. Inside, he will always feel he's beating his former nemesis.<br><br>O Dockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08674140306304705852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919094178463029114.post-90290748453149410332010-02-06T01:15:11.750+00:002010-02-06T01:15:11.750+00:00I love it!
