Geez, John, sorry you took this seriously. I didn’t. I knew everyone on board 
the committee boat, all talented volunteers, and frequently was on board 
myself. There is always room for a chuckle in my life and they gave me a good 
one that day. And Moosehead should only be given to folks you really don’t like 
very much:)

Send them a 6 pack of Moosehead.

I got told by the RC at the end of a race in Montreal as I passed the finish 
line “If we knew you were racing, we would have brought a calendar.” 

No respect at all.

I prefer to say nothing at the start; just smile and wave. A few years ago, 
when I was racing my Mirage 25 boat for boat against another Mirage 25, a young 
chap yelled over that they were gonna "kick my ass". After the race was over 
and they were beaten by about 20 min. they sailed past my mooring. I yelled 
over "hey Matt, I tried to hail you on the VHF but you must have been out of 
range, then I tried your cell but the recording said I would have to pay long

You might not believe it, but we're going to have a Jaws movie night 
here, where everyone has to sit in the water, in an inner tube, PFD, or 
other floaty thing.  If you dangle your legs in the water you win a 
prize.  Yup, there's nothing to do in Mexico but drink tequila and gaze 
into big brown eyes.

Hmmm.  Reminds me of that famous Credence song...  "There's a bathroom

Right.  I understand that Donald Duck is having a Twitter war with El 
Charo, and a late night talk show host said "This is the first time that 
all Americans are rooting for a Mexican drug lord." (Actually I think 
he's a closet Democrat and is playing the demagogue to influence the 
election, and doesn't care what anyone thinks about him.)

Well, I'm not a racer.  But one time a long time ago I was single 
handing close hauled into 25 knots, and the boat was perfectly balanced 
so I could dance in the cockpit.  And Elvis Costello came on the 
stereo.   Pump it up.  
Somehow it fit the moment perfectly and I always grin when I hear the song.


Hee hee.  Gee, it's noon.  I'd better start thinking about breakfast.
