With luck, I'll be able to arrange that for next season.  BTW, 
I understand that there's a boat size minimum...  do you know 
what that is?  And, no!  I'm not thinking of entering the C-Lark!  
Also, about how long does the race last?  I hear 24+ hrs...  
 GD> my advice, don't succumb to the shooter specials in the bars.  If you

That sounds like you learned the rule the hard way!  All I 
can say is that I've been fortuanate enough not to have a 
queasy stomach even after a good night on the town.  Though, 
I'm also sure that I've been lucky on that...  Perhaps my 
need to be sailing over rides my need to chum for fish?  :)

 GD> Better that then Coquitlam - stinking of rotting fish slime.....
I take it that that's a real place with a real translation.    
 
 GD>> Where do the deadheads go at night? :)
 DC> Gerry Garcia memorial concerts!
 GD> That explains it!  In all the overnighters I've done, we've only hit
 GD> deadheads in the middle of the day.
Yeah, as that's the only time they may sleep...  You usually 
find them looking like, not a shoal, but like a very strangely 
painted VW bus.  
BTW, if you make to the next Swiftsure, I'm looking forward to 
meeting you.  You sound like you're as crazy as my skipper!  
... I sail, therefore I am.
