Rolex Cup Regata: Results
Class I Honors, Jib and Main Racing, went to Carlos Sierra's Marlyn II
from Humacao, Puerto Rico, Mistral, a Beneteau 35s5 owned by Carson
Smith from Dallas, TX.

35s5 Mistral. You'll see that boat has been in many, many races under
several owners. It's about time it won one.

That was the 2000 Rolex Cup, and it was second place in the non-chute
division. I wonder if its the same boat.

I saw that too. Admittedly, the boat is capable of being fast with a capable
skipper. It's an extension of the skipper.

With RB it's another story, he hopes that he is an extension of the boat.
It's the classic Don Knotts mentality. Just because he has a gun, badge and
access to a bullet doesn't make him man enough to be sheriff.

Robby hangs around the marina. In person I'm sure he's personable and
helpful. He does a few favors and they let him do some marina work (both
real and pretend). He can talk the talk dockside, but can't walk the walk on
the water. 90% of boaters are recreational come and go types. The ones who
put more into it don't come into contact with Robbie much and when they do,
they quickly size him up and move on.

He's just here to get back at the people he envies, such as real sailors
like you Jeff, people who love their boats like Scotty, people who live by
their own hand like Loco, etc.

It drives him crazy that he doesn't know what boat I own and where I keep
it. Cranes, black bouys all drive him crazy. Perhaps I should tell him about
my radio direction finding set up.

Amen!
