If you count sockpuppets, there were over 50 on Shooting Star.

So, how does that work in real life. If someone makes the wrong call (the last 2 tacks) do you blame one of your own sock puppets, or someone else's sock puppet.

Curious.

It's worse, sometimes one person's sockpuppets start arguing amongst themselves.

Hapends alot....

Not very hard to figure out. Our choices were to play follow the leader and come up short, or take a shot. We took a shot.

MD44, if you look on the front page of the YRALIS site, you will see the final results for the entire season, day races as well as distance-if this boat is on the podium for any event please drop me a pm asap....

I emailed the YRALIS and asked to confirm the non spin rating. They never replied.
Since they removed the names and emails of the committee members from the website
its not as easy to get a hold of them.

Who cares?
There's 4 boats entered in the YRA event what a big waste of time

[btbotfa]

it aint a YRA event, most guys sign up next week when they have had a chance to evaluate weather, but i do think lots of guys got hauled before Sandy and they are done for the season, and the "race" is hardly the main focus of the day, though i do expect to crush all in our path with you on the boat!

So John is driving?
I was gonna offer to do bow if CJ wanted to drive. That might not be the safest place to be if Espo is on the wheel crushing other boats!

Thanksgiving on on Thursday.
Turkey day is on Saturday .

On Thursday, you give thanks for whatever you're giving thanks for, eat turkey (or tofu and sprouts for Bitpitch) and drink copious amounts of wine, beer, etc.
On Turkey day, we go sailing, eat whatever we're eating and drink copious amounts of non-alcoholic(as per the SI's ) beer, tequila, rum, Scotch (I hear it's the BEST non alcoholic Scotch in the world...huh Crush Digital??)

J105's don't sail in November...it's too cold for the skippers

but doesn't the colder, denser air get them up on plane faster????

[btbotfa]

from the urban dictionary....

1130 up, 398 down
Tummy sticks is the situation, commonly referred to as a game, in which two erect men cuddle closely and face-to-face causing their two erect penises, or sticks, to push upwards between their stomachs, or tummys. Sticks combine with tummys, hence the name "tummy sticks."
