John,

You don't really know what a Sad Racing Day really is until that really
sad day when you know racing is no longer in your future.

When the Mark boat is followwing you aound waiting to pick up the mark
bouy after you clear it. When you tuck your boat in he slip and head for
the Club and the rest of the fleet are already on their second drink.

If you time it right it will be the last race of the series and over the
first drink, you announce to your crew, that they need to look to
getting on another boat because you're finish racing.

Now that was a SAD DAY!

Another excellent example of the eloquence that results from experience.

Regards


Donal
