Why? What did he do to you?


Nothing. He had a fine well built expensive blue water Ketch named the
Lone Star Love. Same size as RedCloud. He was quite proffesional had a
well honed and trained crew. I like racing against a boat that I
consider a challenge.

We won the race's, he caught the biggest King.


So you split the bet?


... if you ever got one you'd
probably remember it.

I dont remember, the race is for fun... all the money goes to
charity... and the party was sponsered by barcarddi.


That could explain memory loss. It may be that if it's a pretty casual
race, they just jot down a number and don't bother you with details.



Since Im not planing to race anymore it don't really matter. I may
cruise down for the party.. but racing is not as enjoyable as cruising.

I disagree, although it depends of course on the people & the boat.
Plenty of sea room for both activities.
