I'm married. This means that I have somewhat successfully passed the training in OBEY and can be housebroken at some point (dang that seat lid thing!)

perhaps its best you stick with a Bravo until you get the "seat lid" under control.. no one wants to sit on a boat with Mr. Leaky Pants

Yeah but you'd better hope you never have to wheel it around. The thing weights a metric shitton for its size.

Yes you were, and deep down you're my hero.

Well you've been slacking lately (especially now that you and Pete are all lovey-dovey). Someone has to carry the torch.

Carefull about the boats your dissing. I found out mine needs a 4 hour erection warning on it. If that's the case, your's will require at least 6!

Damn....what got into me today.

4 hour erection?

Shouldn't you be talking to your doctor about erections lasting longer than 4 hours while using Cialis?

Sorry, carry over from another thread that has me in a bit of a twist right now.

Never apologize. Its a sign of weakness :P

ha

ill be there Friday afternoon as well.

I don't which one of you b!tches have the good Karma working but keep it up.

FYI, 5 F18's committed, and one we haven't seen on the course in a while. I know this is an all out DPN battle but it's still nice to see the peeps as Karl says on the course.

Saturday
Southeast winds around 15 knots. Seas 2 to 4 feet. Bay and inland waters a moderate chop. Slight chance of showers.

Saturday Night
South winds around 15 knots. Seas 2 to 4 feet. Bay and inland waters a moderate chop. Slight chance of showers.

Sunday
Southwest winds around 15 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Bay and inland waters a moderate chop. Chance of showers and slight chance of thunderstorms.

I would have scoffed. . . 'til I took up yoga.

hahahah!!!!

Results anyone?

Did the date/location for next fall get announced?

Ding will post the results, but as best I recall: 1- Alex Shafer/crew (sorry, didn't get her name), 2- Olly/Kelly Jason, 3- Robbie Daniel/Chris Prentice.

My sailing stunk but I had a good time anyway. Saturday was light and shifty. Sunday was brutal! We had fourteen boats on the line and eventually all came in except four boats; the three medal winners and the team of Dave Ingram and Mark Herrendeen. Ladies and gentleman, you're all a lot tougher than I am! Kudos. I was shocked when the PRO told me he recorded wind only in the 14-23 range. It felt much higher and at about the start of the second race, the waves started to build as well.

There was an impromptu discussion of The Alter Cup in general and Area D south specifically. I thought it was very helpful and positive. Those of you who don't participate are missing out.

There are two ACs in sailing; THE ALTER CUP and the America's charade. You can do one and talk about the other.

Cheers and happy Thanksgiving!


BTW- the single I20 was in it's glory! I'm not sure when they came in but sailed well.

Not so sure about the 14 to 23. I think the R/C needs to recalibrate their wind speed device. Here is a link to yesterdays wind at Pier 60 (about a mile north of the race area).

Mr. Mac, that's a good question and I'm glad you asked.



Area D South Results

Of the 14 teams we only had 3 individuals that were not paid USSailing members, and opted not to join/renew.

I freaking forgot to announce the 2010 Elim location (Oldtimers is a bitch) so here you go:

The 2010 Area South Eliminations will be hosted by the fine folks at the Fort Walton Yacht Club, November 13 & 14! This a club with great facilities and they really go out of their way to treat the cat sailors well. You have 1 year to make your plans and work out your schedules.

Something interesting that I noticed at the regatta was a few folks I had never seen before. We had a new F18 team easily in their teens ( < 16 ) that will clearly be a force to deal with once they dial in Mosley's old boat, and a couple of A cat sailors I hadn't seen before as well.

To the sailors of ADs you did your area proud this past weekend kudo's to you all.

And Pete, the talk on the beach was good for me too.

USSailing Championship for the Hobie Alter Cup Area D Rep <- what a title aye, they make me say it.
