100th Running Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac

[Call Me Boomvang]

10er-

We will drop a couple of beers overboard and and you can get them as you pass.

So I have a question about the yacht finish report that must be turned in on the island...

It asks for the name of the "Person In Charge (on Island)".

Does this mean that I put down my wife's name?

Just moved the topic to OTW Anarchy. Tomorrow we'll be getting tons of video of everything we can. Boat tours, chats with race officials and odds-on favorites, as well as the usual Anarchy bullshit from the bullshitters. If there's anything you want me to add, or you want to know, just say so.

You can hand them to me when we pass. And it's my Old Goat year, so please take it easy on us! Let the ole man through!

And about the "Person In Charge"...haven't you found out that it isn't even your wife? It's your daughter! Just wait! She will have you wrapped around her little finger if she hasn't yet!

And it's my Old Goat year, so please take it easy on us! Let the ole man through!

Thanks for the pictures. Can you swing that camera north on DuSable and zoom in on Goblin (B dock, adjacent to Nitemare). I want to make sure the keg gets delivered. <_<

Question to those at work: Are you getting any work done except telling your co-workers that you'll be unavailable for the next few days?

The Band just set up our shit under the tent at 6:30 AM. Tried to get everything working & then woke everyone up with a little Marshall Tucker Band at 7:30 am. Good Morning!

We'll be back this afternoon for the skip meeting & playing about 7-7:30 pm.

Hope to see everyone!

There is surely a buzz about the club.

I think I saw BB throw the Sea Scouts a fiver for them to steal your keg... Check the stern stroage area at Columbia. *Warning* Bring mace.

Work? Are you kidding? I've been so impatient all week that I don't even know what I do here anymore... Am I even at my own desk? I've been listening to 'Faith No More' and 'Rage' all day to ease the anticipation, but all I have in my head is 'Europe', Final Countdown... not helping.

Good luck to all... sail hard, fast, safe, win big, and all that jazz. Hope the Flood Brothers rocks tonight.

See you all on the island!!

I hate this facking race.

Can we just Wooton, Goblin and Talisman their sec. 1 flags now so I can get back to work?

 

[Grinder]

Remember, It's all about having fun with the boat & your crew, not about results!

That said, I hope it's a vacum out there & there is -12kts of reverse breeze.

when sailing in a vacuum, would we have to switch our nav lights around?

does weather port boat have rights?

do we pee off the bow?

Yeah, I bet you hope it's a vacuum... cuz the only thing sucking like a vacuum out there will be you... sucking...you big hoover... suck it you big sucky sucker.

Wooohooo! Yeah baby! I got Grinder good!

I bought 42 energy drinks for this mac. Maybe I started drinking them too soon.
