LB 15 6,523 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 14 hours ago, Lex Teredo said: You have a point... but in fairness to meself, I didn't consider it because who even thinks about Ozzy rugby these days? The announcer on Saturday said your #9 was "playing like Gregan," and I had to agree - he moved like a 49 year old who retired after one too many serious injuries. But seriously, that England loss Saturday was one of the most boring, godawful and horrible things my wife has forced me to sit through in years, and not only because England was playing. But don't feel bad, LB. It could be worse for you. You could be a Kiwi and wondering how a very young Ireland team beat the bejeezus out of the All Black & Blues as if they were Conor Macgregor in a comeback fight. And your bumblebees or whatever they are called managed to beat the entertaining, classy and sportsmanlike 'boks twice this year, so there's that. As for Ozzy sailing... not going to comment on it, I know just enough to get my ass kicked by all the funny talkers around here. The legendry Mark Ella was recently asked how his all conquering Wallabies side from 1984 would go if they played against todays Wallabies side. When he replied 'we would beat them by about 5 points' the interviewer asked why such a close game. Ella replied 'We are all in our mid 60's now.' 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BayRacer 79 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 That boat (red one with the artist) looks suspiciously like the the one used on the cover of one of the endless free magazines I get at work. Not sure what it is. There is no credit in the magazine. Not sure I get the wave action and turbulence depicted as the boat appears fairly close hauled on starboard in relatively benign conditions upwind. Sails are actually trimmed. Maybe there is a waterfall just to leeward. Probably a combination of pics put together. This magazine is published by Putnam Media in the Chicago area. Maybe someone there is a sailor. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
