Actually, you have backed up my statement. I dropped out on the second race just like I said. You must go back and reread my rant. Hey, it's almost as long as one of yours.

Also, like I have told lots of the guys around here, this is a good example of why I am a cyclist and runner these days. When you don't start sailing until age 38 and are self taught like I am, you WILL have your bad days on the water as Wouter's post shows especially if the only guys sailing in your division are past Nationals Champions. Hey, where's my third place trophy??

ps. Just be happy that second place dude was not at Juana's........THAT would have made things look that much worse for the F16 crowd!
