I just hope nobody takes this very seriously, I sure don't. They asked
me to use my boat as the committee boat. Does that mean I'm s'posed to
make margaritas for the race committee? I dont have a blender aboard.

About 10 yrs ago, I was asked to write up some handicap rules for an
April 1st race. So, they went sailing and when they came back my rules
were applied. I vaguely remember:

1. Wearing of any yachty attire -10 pts
2. Paid your fed user fee (later repealed) and have said sticker on
boat -9
3. Anybody wearing deck shoes -2pts/pair +10 pts if an odd number.
and any other BS I could think of.

The racers were so angry they wouldnt talk to me even though I was
ASKED to write screwball rules. Probably the only reason I was asked
to be on the committee now is that all the people in that fiasco have
moved on.
