Lee,

Practice, practice and more practice. Gimbaled drink holders. One on each  
side off the stern rail. You have brought up an interesting point though. 
There  are times I find it impossible to find people that will crew for me. 
You might  be on to something there. Perhaps I should be more considerate for 
my  "passengers"????  Nope, that's not going to happen.

Mike,

By "we," Rummy is referring to himself and his  screaming passengers. 
However you may fall into that category if you think  a 10-12 knot wind is
fair to middling.  By then I've lowered the boom  and have started to think
about reefing the main.  When you start to  reef a 100 square foot mainsail,
I'd at least call that "breezy" for our  little Rhodes.

I still can't figure out how Rummy doesn't spill his  drink when both he and
his boat are sideways.  Maybe I need more  experience.
