1) It's all...I gots lots to say, so listen up:<br /><br />1) It's all my fault because what toast is worth a damn if there's no booze involved. Yesterday I went out of town to crew for my youngest son on his 20-footer's maiden race. It was a two hour drive to and two hour drive back. (If Tillerman is listening we went fast in a straight line even if we got lost once.) Could not afford any time to drink anything more than water. I am told that we finished next to last, corrected. But it's a start! We screwed up too, BTW: got our spinnaker halyard snagged in jib furler - bad mess!<br /><br />2) I always thumb my knows [nose] at weather reports.<br /><br />3) The only socially-redeeming functions for power boats is (a) serving as race committee and (b) rescuing real yachts. (Okay, maybe fishing, but most fishermen are lower on the evolutionary chain than most fish, IMHO).<br /><br />4) Also, IMHO, letting the bilge pump run all season long instead of hauling was a bad call. I glad you got by without a pump failure and hope you get by, going forward, without blisters!<br /><br />5) Congratulations on the splash!<br /><br />That is all!Doc Häagen-Dazshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00577427442824705257noreply@blogger.com
