relax. southbound, northbound, eastbound, no difference. Unless, of course, a
southbounder insisted that southbound is the right direction. [grin]

Let's use a little common sense. It was a
schooner race. My boat is not a schooner. Why
would I want to be part of it.
I think I made a mockery of all the schooners as I
was the only boat sailing before the start. All
the schooners motored to the start. Is it my
fault that I can sail in less than a knot of
breeze?
