It is funny, but not in a ha-ha way. When we beat Greg and Jacques at this event last year, nobody jumped up and down and said, "the Capricorn beats the Tiger! Oh, and there were some sailors involved..."

First rate event. Dennis and I sailed poorly, but we had a tremendous time. The real credit goes to Don Atchley, who invested serious time building the San Fran NOOD F18 presence. Way to go Don!

As ever with F18, it was a sincere pleasure to see all my Hobie, Nacra and AHPC friends at one event, racing heads-up. Congratulations to Greg and Jacques, and Pete and James. They put on a solid show of mastery in difficult conditions. I would love to see an event where we all show up and then draw to see who gets what boat... oh... maybe we already have that, and the two teams at the top of the event last weekend have both done pretty well under those circumstances, too.

Rum party - epic. Not one breath about who was on what boat. We were all F18s that night and the whole damn regatta knew it.
