Caption: "arrrgg...and they STILL have Jake's last name listed as 'Cole' instead of 'Kohl'!"

Better than Coal!

The scores aren't totalled yet!? What does an aneurism feel like?

"a Wave hailed starboard at an N20 in its start sequence..?"

That is what Bob Curry will in his stocking next year! Hum bug, etc.

Sorry we had to bail at the last minute.

In spite of the perils, I know that Mary and Rick are survivors from a more innocent era and when folks like that stop doing what they do, we can kiss it all goodbye.

Y'all better get to every one of these events you can while they still exist.

Accidents happen and that is why we have insurance. However, I would think that no claim will be filled in this case.

Anyone who has been around knows that the best regattas involve a lot of boats with different characteristics sailing near each other. The best sailors deal with all the situations that arise, whether tactical within their class, or interacting with a which fleet which includes other racing classes, boats that are not racing, and obstructions of every kind.

An "A" mark and a "C" mark, no obstructions, perfectly set start, 3 safety boats, 2 stake boats, no tide, steady 15-18kts, .......boring!!!!.....but that is fine for a World Championship.

If you do a reality check, Tradewinds is the perfect regatta. Long live Rick and Mary.

Did you know the Wave class has its own hand sign?

Wave Class represent, three on the side!

Ohhhh, so that explains the "YO YO YO, where my Homies at??"

And the "Hey Girl, can I hitchu back?" when his cellphone rang...

Yo,G .You hit my wave I bump you down wit da gat. Peace,out!

While you are mentioning the give aways, you forgot:
Rick White's Sailing Seminars www.SailingSeminars.com and the VHS Tapes given out
RAM Press on books of "Sailing Drills"

Just thought those needed some plugs as well.

Who's the cute chick handing out all the swag?????

Karl,
In the story on the mainpage it says photos by Beth Langefield... did you guys tie the knot?!?!
-Todd

The knot hasn't been tied. I think my mother may be behind this somehow. I haven't figured it out just yet, but she can be crafty.

If one more person pisses in my ear about the starting sequence my head is going to explode.

Good one, Dave. Loved it.

Caption Contest:

OOOhhhh, where did I leave that commemorative O bama plate, keychain, coffee mug, wall photo, China made minted coin, ..........where's Mr. Kohl?

Now your just getting to be plain-old offensive. You can't stand the fact that someone has a different opinion? Why does that eat you up so badly?

Come on guys not here! You guys have your own thread for this stuff. Or start a new one I don't care, I just don't want to stumble into this crap in a thread about a very enjoyable regatta.

Jake,

Actually, I was joking, it is a caption contest.
I definitely wasn't trying to be offensive. If you were offended, my apologies. After re-reading it, I still find it kind of humurous.

And I do respect your right to have a slightly different opinion of this matter than I do.

I'll drop it, and on the other post too.

Uhh, excuse me stewardess, I speak Jive....
