The Sailboat Thread!

I grew up in Oklahoma and Dad learned how to sail on Grand Lake of the Cherokees. We race against plenty of great racers from inland lakes. Generally the winds are much lighter down here then they are 'where the wind comes sweeping down the plains' in OK.

It looks like a miserable hot windless regatta at the moment. Thanks for the support.

Around here, we say it's a "sweat n bobb". You know, lots of sweating and bobbing around. Tell dad to stock up on ice and plenty of beer.

Yeah, we did a fair amount of sweating and bobbing. Far more beer was drunk then seems at all safe or reasonable. I'm several shades darker and redder than I usually am.

We won the trophy we were after so it was a very successful week.
