Yeah, that's not so bad... but it doesn't necessarily mean you'd have won
if you'd gotten a good start. Besides, what's your excuse for being late
at the start?

Excuse? I don't need a friggin excuse! (Crew member, not even a woman,
needed to use the land toilet, if you can believe it.)

However, boat #2, when finally docked, was approached by
the local police
boat and cited for not having the proper registration
.... So, my
question is can I
improve my standing in the race? I think they should
withdrawn, given that
they weren't legal.


You can think that, but it doesn't mean much. I raced for years with a
boat that wasn't registered at all... legal in our state, but not in
others we travelled to.


What do you think? Should #2 withdraw?


No. State registration has nothing to do with racing.


Damn.

Apparently he would. Maybe in that situation, I would too if the trophy
were really nice.


It was a really nice hotdog.
