Reminder of sailing’s dangers

Eight recent Yacht deaths are sobering reminder of sailing’s dangers – USATODAY.com.

Boating has its dangers, just like driving and many other activities in life. It’s important to sail safely, but there’s no need to overreact as the media appears to be doing.

Should sailing races be shut down in the San Francisco area in the wake of an accident?

Tragic accidents do happen. No one wants anything less than safe and fun activities on the ocean waters.

California has a history of overreacting to most anything and passing nanny state legislation. This would add insult to injury to the sailing community.

Stay safe folks.
