Fresh
off of another drifting contest, I sure would like a nice 10 to 15 knot wind
without the dark clouds. I guess that is the price we pay for the sailor’s
life. I was quite amused at a book I was reading in which the main character’s
girl friend had a sailboat. The main character mused at how sailors would go
out and have a race when there was no wind. He wasn’t sure who was winning
because they were all just sitting there. It turned out one boat was anchored.
It reminded me of a few of our races. And there are those of you who are not
sure if you want to race because, well because of what. I know: you have never
sailed backwards. The most exciting part of our last race was the get together
afterwards. Lack of wind has absolutely no affect on our ability to party and
have a great time. You would have thought the race was one of those nail
biting, photo finishing NASCAR events. And the suspense while waiting for the
order of finish, it was electric. Congrats to all who made for a great
day of fun.
Folks,
the season is about to kick into high gear. The hours of daylight officially
inched past the hours of dark this week (sounds like our race). More time on
the boat, more time to cruise, more time to socialize and if I am lucky, a
couple of dry days so that I can do some painting.
See
you at sea.
