You guys are pitiful. Am I the only incompetent one here? Or are you hiding your REALLY good ones?

Ok, here we go again........

I went to Villanova (Class of '79) and raced on the sailing team. Once we were near Albany, NY racing RPI (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute). It was late fall, the Hudson was frigid, and there was no wind. We were using Lasers and the race was called for lack of wind. A kid in another boat stood up, slid around to the bow, grabbed the mast and proceeded to rock the boat from side to side, sculling into shore. Ever full of testosterone and not to be out done ("He sucks. If HE can do that, I can do it better"), I stood up, grabbed the mast, rocked to port ...... and fell into the Hudson taking the whole boat with me.

You know, sound really does carry over water.... like the sound of 5 teams rolling on their backs in tears from laughter.

I think that I'm the only one who can flip a boat in a dead calm.
