We'll need to unload a few hundred pounds of other dead weight if we are going to add more beer! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" />

If they could just funnel all the trash talking down to Thatch, you'd have some mighty fine racing.
Should seriously reconsider the course, or even eliminate the second race when the only wind is from the crews <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />
Surprised Foxy hasn't figured out that all that time spent out on boats not moving is money not being spent in his bar. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

It was VERY late by the time most boats got across the finish...of course...some were earlier than others <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />
