A friend reminded me of this video, and it's kinda cool.  To me, anyway...
Sailing is the one passion that keeps me from my OTHER passion (music) during the summer.
 
Friend:  "Am I supposed to do something?"
Me:  "Yes, hold on!  I guess I should have told you 'hold on'."

Very nice
 
I'd love to be able to do that. Closest I ever got was owning a 14.5 foot Fletcher Arrowflyte, with a 75hp outboard... Used it for water skiiing and barefoot. Obviously, not even close to sailing, although we did have to take a "driving" course which was run by the RYA.
 
More lately, it was motorcycling...

Oh... this was me back in 1993 doing a bit of barefoot :-

That looks like fun!
I tried water-skiing barefoot once, but just gave up and enjoyed being dragged along the water on my belly.  

Yeah, sure was fun
 
Not easy, either. I got to the point where standing up was pretty easy but up to that point you spend a lot of time hitting the water at 35 mph seeing stars all around.
 
Wouldn't even dream of attempting it now...
