Rest assured that we are trying to figure out the possible logistics, one of which would involve Rick having to drive a total of at least 45 hours in order to participate in that regatta.

And before you cast stones at me, let me ask whether any of you guys has a wife or girlfriend who would be willing to drive 26 hours, all alone, over mountains and through tunnels, through rain and fog, trailering three boats (two double-stacked and the third disassembled) on a small, old trailer with very narrow wheelbase? Just so her husband can attend a regatta? Anybody have a spouse like that? I really want to know.
