Let's use a little common sense. It was a
schooner race. My boat is not a schooner. Why would I want to be part of it. I think I made a mockery of all the schooners as I was the only boat sailing before the start. All the schooners motored to the start. Is it my fault that I can sail in less than a knot of breeze? S "JAXAshby" wrote in message ... : the world was southbound. :-) : : Yeah, I was going home.

relax. southbound, northbound, eastbound, no difference. Unless, of course, a
southbounder insisted that southbound is the right direction. [grin] Let's use a little common sense. It was a schooner race. My boat is not a schooner. Why would I want to be part of it.
