Most of the riff-raff should be
off the water by then.

We fortunately didn't have any riff-raff. The Governor's Cup was on =
Saturday, and about the on;y worthwhile reportable event was that I had =
words with one of the racers when he and a friend decided to move our =
boat forward on the dock without checking to see if we were aboard. Mr =
Sails was cleaning the bilge and I was making up berths when all of a =
sudden there's someone pn our boat..I quickly popped out the =
companionway and asked him what the heck he thought he was doing. He =
said he was moving our boat and he ddn't know anyone was aboard. All =
our hatches were open, the companionway was open...and he didn't hail. =
I told him he was pretty rude for coming aboard without permission and =
next time to hail or knock or something. He wasn't from our yacht club, =
so I expect they don't teach manners wherever he elarned to sail. The =
rest of the weekend was grey. Sunday was really light winds...we stuck =
the chute up...Today was much better. We've had the weirdest run of =
East winds this year. It blew about 5=3D8 today but there was no power =
behind the wind at all. And the waves were all running backward toward =
Wisconsin. A lot more wind on Muskegon Lake when we came back in, so =
tacked around in there for awhile until it started to rain. Less =
traffic going home than on a normal weekend. I think everyone stayed =
home because of the weather. Suited us fine. Dodging drunks in motor =
boats is never fun. Did see one a-hole in a motorboat take on the CG, =
though. I was at the helm entering the harbor seawall area from the big =
lake alongside a CG bouy tender. This hoo-haw came flying through, like =
they usually do and the CG vessel gave them 5 blasts...they slowed down =
and were doing 5 K at the channel markers....but they were still behind =
the tender and I don't think they knew it was a CG vessel. About 100 ft =
from the end of the channel, they revved up and blasted past the tender =
and got 6 blasts and 2 coasties came running out, one with a clipboard =
frantically writing down his reg. #'s. Hope they sent him a ticket.

I didn't go sailing. I hate sailing on weekends , and it's 5 times worse on
a holiday w/e. I'll be leaving tomorrow. Most of the riff-raff should be
off the water by then.

At least you weren't on the head at the time.

Ya think MI price of gas (I saw $2.09 in Dundee on Thur.) had somthin do do
with the lack of traffic?

It's pouring buckets here now, A T-storm, no wind though.

Katy, next time you hit the "reply to group" button, take your cursor
(you know, that little pointy arrow controlled by the mouse), grab the
bottom left corner, left click & hold then drag the box to the top left
to make the box smaller. Then when you type, your word wrap should work
just fine. You will have to try it a few times to get it just right.

LP (free advice, take it or leave it)
