Seth for the people that you mentioned here and in your other reply as in Show up or shut up, or a disappointment this or that. I think its best for you know some simple facts before talking.

This year was a really shitty one for myself. I sailed my boat THREE times. Go figure. The main reason was my health.

I put myself in the spot, because as MYSELF, I am sure others had what can be considered more important than any race.

I know for a fact, I sure did.

Maybe we can have a small person to person conversation, I will be more than glad to let you in on my details.
