On the Radio .. Business report. Marina's, etc complaining because ....

: I went sailing. Wednesday night races. Finished dead last. Somehow I've got to teach her not to pinch so close! Just haven't figured out how yet. On Lionheart, we're used to watching the fleet sail away from us, no matter what we do, unless it's really rough. Of course, if that happens, they cancel the race when the big ketch is at her best. Our handicap is so big, we can still place fairly well, even if we arrive hours after the race committee has gotten drunk at the bar and has gone home....(c; Larry -- While in Mexico, I didn't have to press 1 for Spanish. While in Iran, I didn't have to press 1 for Farsi, either. While in Florida, I had to press 2 for English. It just isn't fair. |

Not so much the rough weather, but the huge handicap. The club has two fleets, A amd B. The A fleet (the FAST boats) run two laps while the B fleet runs just one. I figure if I can cross the finish line before being lapped by the leaders, I won! We've managed that exactly once. But it was a great race. Richard |
