In a 'pack' of 20 boats, Alien was faster than all, yet, there's no boats
behind you?
BTW, I would call that close reaching, not close hauled. And that looks
like a lot of twist, of is the main just that blown out?

Started out at 3:30, NO WIND. Loafed around in light air for an hour and
then
SLAM, we got steady air and big puffs to follow. Just beautiful and the
boat
sails beautifully. We were in a pack of more than 20 boats, all sailing
back
towards the bridges from Execution Rock. Close hauled, Alien was faster
than
all, except for a J27 (I think) with orange sails! The wind held out until
about 8:30 or so....
A great sail!!! We can't wait until tomorrow!

Busted!

So, according to poor Loco, we were only on that ONE tack traveling in ONE
direction, heeled at 12% at 5.5 knots for 4 hours.
Now, perhaps Loco knows why he got slammed by me on his first appearance here
and why I'll never stop beating him?

1. I didn't point out the photo mistakes that got you busted .... I only
pointed out you were busted.
2. The slamming score is 257 to 1 my favor at this point.

Maybe you're smart enough to explain how a pic, showing 1/100 of a sec. of
sailing discounts anything or gets me busted?
Then again, maybe you're not!

Why are you home, Loco...we're sailing at 2:30. We'll only hear about your
mythical daysails!

Bwahahahahaha! Like beating a child with his own candy!!!
