Boasting? Where, Max? You mean those ultra expensive flashes for my
camera.

I rest my case.

Hey Nutsy,

Although it isn't a Nautical gift it does have a Nautical purpose. I got
a DVD/VCR player. My Daughter thought it was time to reduce the size of
my VCR tapes collection. I have sailing taped hanging on three doors in
wire racks.

Hooked it up today but didn't get past the IL Moro/ America Cube series.
Race 4 & 5 in my mind, are the two greatest "Match Races" I've ever
seen. Wound up watching them rather than transfering. What a great
evening.

You're too generous. It didn't take that much effort at all, but I'll

Well....Suzanne got a very nice Yakamoto keyboard. She plays the
skin-flute, but wanted to learn Piano to teach Thomas, so I
carefully hid it from her under the bed, then set it up next to
the tree. She also got a
lot of cheap jewelry, two new coats of face make-up and a new
pair of worn out shoes!
I got 2 nekked flashers to go with the patio radio, and quite a
bit of bull**** crap from my family...as always.
But Thomas had the biggest haul ever!!! It was almost like the
second shower he's had in his life with so many cloths and cute
baby crap...even his own website,
PoorThomasRobertBrody.com!!!...and even a wading pool (I'll set
it up tomorrow or this week sometime so I can ice skate)
and a set of wooden coats that Suzanne's father
stold for him. With the recent loss of my diaper pale leaving a
glaring hole, Thomas kept the piles flowing. It was a messy few
days!

Hope everyone had a good holiday...What did YOU get????
I know I got more than all you losers combined...

I'd give the nod to Race 4... I have that on tape too. It's very
instructive on how to win with a slower boat. I still can't believe
Buddy Melges made the mistakes he did in that race, but Cayard (and the
Il Moro crew) really did a perfect job.

Right Doug,

Race 5 wasn't as close but the ability to over come problems, for both
crews, were great! Am3 with the rip in the main at the start and
repairing it with Il Moro right on their stern during pre-start and
during the Race, Il Moro breaking the two upper Battens in the main,
making repairs and still maintaining speed. Great!
