Thanks I appreciate it but the main thing we took off of racing was we usually had fun!!...I think we were more about having fun more than winning, which was fine with me. The only time things got uncomfortable was one season when we were in contention for Overall winner and things got a little ugly on our boat, my fault totally, and it's a season I will always regret even though we won 1st place...because of the break down in comraderie made it a hollow victory. Live and learn, and it was a hard lesson, but from then on, people take priority over prizes.
You have had some really good people on board and I if were chosing teams, I'd take Mike R. and Larry over this brain-dead, A.D.D. stumble-bum any day of the week! But let me know what's up....have you been following any of the double-handed discussion and scheduling for this coming season? I want to do more short-handed stuff. Rich Griner with the big red C&C 115 has set up this website: http://web.mac.com/grinercoyote/Chesapeake_Shorthanded_Sailing_Association/Home.html but anyway, thanks for the offer and I sure as heck hope to do some events with you guys on the Box.Which is another boat that is a lot of fun to race!
