Okay Mr. Simple Simon...may I ask you how, this discourse on dead cows
related in any meaningful way to the fine subject of sailing? I know there
has been much finger pointing back and forth of how this is a problem from
Canada and I hear Canadian's pointing out that the rancher in Canada with a
BSE infected cow is an American and now no longer even in Canada. How does
all this relate to tightening a jibsheet and heading up to round a mark, or
dropping anchor in a secluded lagoon? I know that the joy of biting into a
juicy slab of dead-cow is great and similar to that felt with the heel of a
fine vessel in good wind (and I am suddenly reminded that it is just about
supper time...grrr...sorry, that was my stomach). Time to sail over to the
Steakpit for supper me thinks.

Ahoy there!

Canada is at fault for the case of BSE found in the
US recently that shut down most of the exports. The
only good news is that beef prices domestically should
be coming down soon as the surplus beef hits the super
markets.

Think I'll be eating more steak in the future. . .
