I was thinking of a way to bring us together as a group, no easy task since we are spread all over the globe!

Since laughter is the universal language, how 'bout something funny, a running joke. I have it! A "Sailor Of Distinction" award, or SOD award! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Anyone can nominate anyone, for anything, at any time. Then we all discuss and vote on it. We could even have double, triple or Five SOD awards for the truly "deserving"!

I'll even award myself a single SOD for capsizing under spinnaker in NO WIND! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Come to think of it, we could award the F18 group 5 SODs for bashing us! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
