Not to get in-between what is shaping up to be a good fight, but we
were all over the points of sail. In general we beat it out and ran
back. As for the road map I use, it doesn't show depth, but I have a
kick up centerboard that stats to make a funny noise when it scraps
the bottom. Is there a term for that? I suppose I'm supposed to yell

Something like, "oops", "ah", or "very interesting" will suffice.


That does it, damnit! I'm
getting a cheesy fake parrot to pin to the shoulder of my wetsuit and
I'm getting an eye patch, too.

You have to start from the basics - name your boat after a famous pirate
ship and fly the Jolly Roger. Then work on the parrot and the eye patch.
