I've got you beat for sure...I've sailed with Maxprop,
DSK, Michael Ortin; I've met Edgar Cove, have Fahd
several phone conversations with Haggie, and have lively
Messenger conversations with another personage of
venerableness. There are several others I've met over
the past years who no longer post here for oner reason
or the other. And Dawn Riley wrote me a letter. I have
been truly blessed.

Aw, shucks...

Hey...I was impressed that you called me in the middle of
a raging hurricane while hanging off a pylon...that's true
friendship!

LOL. Guess you better send me your new numbers for this
year then...

I was fortunate enough years ago on a delivery to be
forced to stop in
Ft. Lauderdale on one of the leg finishes for the
Whitbread. One boat
was there when we got there, two came in while we were
still there and
we saw one finish when we left to complete our trip. Met
a bunch of
the crewmembers. Those guys party pretty good between
legs.

I'll say! I saw a stretch Jaguar when they were here this
year. Almost crashed my Jeep for snickering.

You might want to re-phrase that last , Frank.....

Well, I meant between legs of the race, however, I would suspect that
too......

Awesome to watch those boats sail, isn't it? They are so
stripped and powerful. It's a very different kind of vessel,
with a very different look, than traditional sailboats.

Absolutely. It made my trip. We stopped for maintenance (we had some
poorly designed anti siphon loops that were attempting to sink the
boat when significantly heeled) but it was great to watch those long
distance speed machines come in. Just being around it was a lot of
fun.

Humph.

Her group, America True, sponsors our Camp Clipper for disadvantaged kids in
July. I'll mention it next I talk to her. She's a great person.
