I would go and seek Bubba's advice but no one has heard anything from him
or seen him around.The scuttle butt is he has sailed of to the Med.Looking
for some lost love.He was sending messages to her for years in empty Bud
lite cans.Bubba was wise-to get out of Fl. when he did.
Maybe he will return with a new wife?

The America's cup race over a hundred years ago ended in accusations and
disputes.Lord Dunraven accused the Am Defender of having carried illegal
ballast which would have extended her water line and consequently given
her
greater speed-(taken from the book)
My question is: How is that?
Would n't the extended water line be more serface area in contact with the
water, there by slowing the boat down. By having a greater resistance..But
is that different with sail boats?
