New foils?

With an average divorse rate of 53%, maybe we should wait for at least the happy couple's first anniversary before declaring this marriage a success?

You're skeptical.

Nor freeze-dried food for that matter, but needs must, eh?

Any of the good folk up in PNW heard/know about the restoration of the 1907 Albert Strange gaff cutter Tally Ho up in Sequim, WA? A British boatbuilder, Leo Goolden has been working on her off and on since about June last year. It's very nearly a complete rebuild by the look. Excellent video blog (26 postings so far) of Leo's restoration efforts here: http://sampsonboat.co.uk It's worth a look if you're into classic yacht restoration.

Lucky bounce off the pool bottom there guys. Amazing set up on the beach.

Stereotypical much?

1130UTC - 1330 local time.

Because, Elisa there are many more lard-arse useless guys taking up space on couches all over the world. (I speak from a little bit of personal experience here ) They've gotta watch something, right? Which kinda supports your man's comment about what he prefers to watch. I can relate.

Correct.

Front page and national TV in NZL - all about how Charles spoiled the party for Pete and Blair. Ha, ha. Still, Stu and Daryl were aboard DongFeng, right!

"Fuck", is right. Not much more too add. Bloody good effort for the latter half of the race though. Just a pity it took so long for them to find their wings and fly.

Ouch. That palm cut looks painful. Great pics, Herman.

Thanks to all the usual SA suspects for an entertaining RTWR commentary. I hesitate to single anyone out, but a special thanks to SOX for challenging me to stick around from the start. My faith in this race has been restored, as a consequence. I've even stopped bagging the OD thing. How could I not? Hope to catch up with you all again soon.
