Over on ‘It’s 5 o’clock somewhere’, a writing project was presented for fellow bloggers. I was unsure if I could participate because it specifies ‘spouse’ and ‘what the spouse could do if not sailing’. Then I reread the instructions.
Simply compose a blog post, or post a response in the comments here, telling about things besides sailing that can be done near your local sailing venue, so non-sailing travel companions can enjoy themselves, or for sailors to do when the weather isn't suitable for sailing
What can be done in Little Rock if not sailing.
Let’s start with the Grand Maumelle Sailing Club . You can sail on the Arkansas River, but I bet it is tricky.
