Default Buh-Bye!

Now you are beginning to see a few of the reasons why
you would most likely end up going on your way with
your tail tucked. Sister Creek alone would kill you.

Remember I said no motors. That does not rule out
oars and I can row my boat at two knots in the no-wind
Sister Creek conditions. There are other legal tricks I
can and will employ just to put a multi-hull sailor in
his rightful place.

Compared to most of the nonsense here, this has been an interesting intellectual exercise.
I always wanted to do the VPP calculation, this was a good excuse.

Actually, the concept of a Key Largo to Marathon race is interesting. If its a light SE
wind, at low tide (not that there's much of a tide) I could have a problem - some of the
channels I'd have to tack up are not much wider than my boat. But other than that, this
wouldn't be a contest.

Jeff... don't be drawn into this silly exercise of having Capt. Neal claim
he can best your vessel.... he hasn't a prayer of challenging even me
successfully and I'm certain your vessel is faster than mine on all points.

I must admit however that he could in all probability easily beat a C&C 32
with Bob at the helm... lets allow him that.
