We had a great run and run's the word. Didn't I tell you novices that
Skippy was most likely running? Didn't I tell you that he was probably
running to try to minimize the rolling that sailing with quartering

You didn't notice his prescript: "- Roger's right :{))"?

You didn't notice that a 20-30 degree total swing was *better*?

You didn't notice his calculations that kept him on the run, though
he'd rather had come up to a broad reach?
