    tranmkp "wherever you go. there you are"

    Just was wondering about all those Gardens - Formosa, Hardin, Hudsons.

    Ive never sailed on one - I imagine that are (politely) not closed winded...

    But I suspect if the sea and wind is right they would have a real plush ride no?

    Would the be hell in a beam or following sea?
