BTW, Ding, how could you possibly let Todd beat you (again)???

I know! The shame is unbearable.

South Carolina | maybe now I'll make some hats (for both of us) that has team punk on the front inside a circle and crossing bar...we can use a sharpie to make a "notch" on the back to mark defeats.

I know! The shame is unbearable. Well, at least you've manned up and aren't blaming it on something stupid (my boat broke, I drank too much, the sun was in my eyes)... Still in all, inexcusable. Mike | | | Re: Spring Fever

Clermont, FL, USA | Saturday was a learning experience in the light air, we figured out a lot about the boat. Still have a ways to go but we love the boat and are looking forward to tapping into the potential it has.
Buy an ad Ricky! And you left the best part out, the part where I sailed through lee during that last upwind on Saturday...what was it you said to me again while I did that... oh yeah, "F!@# YOU Ding" Made the whole trip worth it.

South Carolina | I actually like the hat idea Jake... though you won't have any notches yet. We'll be changing that soon, I hope. I'll expect Ding will need a new hat pretty quickly when he runs out of room for notches. It made my day to see the changed results with us beating Ding. Plus that means Karl owes us a bottle of rum! Thats what he gets for telling me that I'm only his "part time" nemisis. Brendon is happy too after he got ripped off in the dance contest.
We were a bit nervous about going to Spring Fever not having sailed the Wildcat before. Saturday was a learning experience in the light air, we figured out a lot about the boat. Still have a ways to go but we love the boat and are looking forward to tapping into the potential it has.
Mike.. thanks for calling Karl out on the broken boat excuse! Beth yells at him when he doesn't take care of his boat, the least he could have done is pony up the money for a KNOWN PROBLEM and fixed it before the regatta rather than whine about it afterwards. We replaced those before they broke and then a few regattas later when borrowing Mike & Tripp's boat it broke on their boat sailing around between races in 5 knots of wind. I've already got a notch!...and don't give me that "we had a new boat stuff"...I haven't been on an F18 in five years and I had a crew with me that has sailed an asymmetrical kite only once before.

Yep! The little s!@# out sailed me... actually Brendon out sailed me. Ricky has finally learned how to follow directions.

| All joking aside for a minute, I wish I could take back all the times I've blamed losing on something stupid. I think we've all said things like:
We would have won if we didn't flip.
We would have won if the mast didn't come down.
We would have won if you didn't go on that crazy flyer.
We would have won if we covered you.
In all of these cases, the winner WON because he DIDN'T make these mistakes, not because YOU DID.
Then, there are the truly stupid excuses like being hung over, those should have their own category...
OK, tanget over, carry on...
BTW Jay, love that visual reminder of the circle of trust!!!
