Edith you really know how to add substance to the conversation.

 

[Texas Strong]

Lead is heavy Edith.

Much easier just to switch it off.

Sure, if you have a switch, and want to break the rules.

An incredible boat ....built by the current owner whos in the above video. It just kind of levitates above the water whilst you enjoy beers from the bean bags.....if only I had the cash.

[trimfast]

For like $2000 USD. OMG who would do that?

The same people that pay for friends in a frat?

 

[Moonduster]

If you call your fraternity a frat, what do you call your country?

The same people that pay for friends in a frat?

Be interesting to see how Rambler goes this time against Leopard? Last time they raced each other Leopard took the honours. Leopard has made some mods, new sail plan etc. Rambler is packed with the whose who so I suspect she will win this time around. Eyes on Maverick to see how she goes against the TP52's? Pity no Comanche haven't heard boo from TC?

Forecast seriously sucks at the moment. GFS model shows the entire course with less than 10 knots for the first 48 hours.

Still 4 days to go. Hoping the computers have it wrong.

This is 2200 on Monday and it gets worse before it gets better.
