Hiya Sneadey, How is ya?
1. No. I am not allowed any fun.
2. Its just a guy thing. I had a bigger gun than you guys.
Great fun for a kid.
Oh, BTW, our keel is not a tupperware bolt on lump of rusty iron. I have been known to make new channels. Once we were on the gaffer in a club race. We cut a corner 'slightly', heeled over just right. The water was flowing past the hull about a few knots, sails set perfectly, even the topsails. All these little things sailed past us. Someone called out that the echo sounder wasn't working as it read 0 under the keel. Guess what. we were sitting just right, on the mud for 30 minutes. Great short cut. No trophy that year - but we didnt cause any other sort of havoc either.
Another time we were returning under motor to Moreton Bay after a weekend race/sail. A sea kayak was paddling towards us (in a narrowish channel). We called out, and actually took it out of gear and stopped. He had his head down and ploughed right into our side, looked up and abused us for not getting out of his way. 25t vs 25kg.
