After watching Lionel Messi play, I realize I need to sail harder.

Unbelieveable... Only in Hollywood would they think it's a better idea to rig the traps from a crane than to actually let them sail... Guess they have to pay the "riggers" to do SOMETHING...

I know, they probably needed a completely controllable situation so the lighting could be perfect, no pesky wind noise to drown out the dialogue that they were probably trying to capture at this point, etc. Still ridiculous.

That is such a cool boat, why not scare those guys with her!


Once you go cat you never go back! Nacra 5.2 (Elsies)#1499, running an inter17 spin!
