response either way? Just ignore it it'll go a way? Not hardly.

This route is approximately 800 miles. You want more, we can go to Duluth
and back to Houghton where my son goes to school, or even the Toledo
light.
You want 20 -30 knots on youe anemometer, I can assure you it will happen.
You want 10 foot seas or larger, that too. Quit waffeling, you challanged,
I
accept. Your current "Cut the Mustard" vs My current "Maybee Crazy" from
the Toledo light 7-4-04 6am. The challenger does not get to set the course
or conditions, they only get to back out. Why do you think the Americas
cup
was held in New Zeland last.

I never chicken out but I DO INSIST on setting the race course.
Some people have the cheek to say I don't sail and never leave
the mooring, etc. but they're wrong. I sail so much that some
little sheltered water day trip is not my idea of sailing anymore.
I like oceans and long distances single-handing. I like boat and
master to work as a team over long periods of time and strong
winds with big seas derived from hundreds or thousands of miles
of fetch. I don't like to see readings on my depth sounder for
extended periods of time and I like to see 20-30 knots on my
anemometer. If I'm gonna hafta spend my time racing some wannabe
klutz then I insist on making a voyage out of it - not some silly
around the buoys flim-flamery.

I've no interest in racing some crummy little inland course. That's
for lubbers like Bobsprit, LOCO, Pony Express, Horvath, Ganz,
Katysails, Mooron, Oz1, Donal, Navigator, Haggie, Jeff Morris,
Shen44, onnmbrd, Joe Butcher, Billy Jane, etc. etc. So, please
don't insult me with anything less than a race of at least five hundred
miles with mostly open water.

Hey Neil, no answer? You chicken out? You issued the challange, I just

How about from the Toledo Light to the North Tower of Big Mac via
the
Milwaukee harbor light. I will even give you a 4 hour head start.
Say
July 4 2004 at 6am. I drink Mack and Jacks African amber, it aint
cheap nor is it easy to get.

I challenged Booby to a race many times but he's ALWAYS
chickened out. I'll make you the same challenge. I'll race you
starting
at Key Largo to Marsh Harbor in the Abacos from there to Habana
and from Habana to Key West. Said race to commence sometime
in December of this year. Loser buys the winner's beer for five
years.
I bet you, like your sniveling, pretend-to-sail, little, butt
buddy
Booby,
will also chicken out.

S.Simon - my 27-footer will beat yours in a long distance race.

BITE ME! Is that answer enough for you?
