A good night for boiled peanuts if you ask me! At least that's what we were consuming through the very drifty first half of the race on the J22. I heard stories of other boats choosing a much more liquid diet on the water though.
Unfortunately we did not have our usual stash of rum on the 22 due to Papa Doug being just a little under the weather. We had settled for beer to accompany our boiled peanuts. Turns out this was a critical mistake as we found ourselves entering a port/starboard situation with Ole Sole Mio. We had seen Ol' Bullit make a cross that we didn't think was going to be as feasible as it turned out to be. This gave us hopes for keeping our miniscule sail plan from getting stuck behind the giant Beneteau. As we approached though, we heard the dreaded call "Starboard" and had to make what felt like a mile long duck to avoid the skyscraper floating through the water in front of us. As we passed by, we were informed that our unfortunate situation could have been remedied with transfer of the amber liquid nourishment we not so salty dogs refer to as rum.(we're lake sailors, do we get the old salts title? Let me know in the comments below.). It sounds as if the Ol' Bullit crew had offered such refreshment to the Sole Mio crew in exchange for a cross. So this week's piece of advice is that sportsmanship is always the best way to compete.Oh, and always bring RUM! This week's RC was headed by Stefan Schulze and Mike Iuvone. It included members Paul Stoeffer, Julie Stuart, Emma Smith, and Peter Kowalski. Thank you for your service! As always, let me know if there are any corrections. Next week is a dinner week, we'll see you there! Thank you, Kyle ____________________________________________________________________________ Comments are closed.
