sailingdog is just really nicesailingdog is just really nicesailingdog is just really nicesailingdog is just really nice
Hate to break it to you... he's got friends all over the world at this point...not just in Portugal. I'd vote for his son to win anyday... Fred ROCKS!!!

Fred's probably a better sailor than 70% of the people on this forum. Probably got more hours on a boat too.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Hats off to smack for setting up a tight race. He could have lumped the east and west coast together. Same thing for including the northies or southies in with some other area. But nooooo, he had to make it a real race.

What location got voted as the best by those who voted "others"? Have they all posted a comment so we can see what thet are voting for?

Is there no BFS in the gulf or supersouth, or are they just so laid back that they'd rather drink rum and let the weather pass?

Woah - are the Easties mounting a comeback? Things are tightening up by the hour.

So I gotta wonder - do the lurkers ever vote around here? C'mon people - step up and make a difference! There's a cup on the line!

Still inching up.

So will the Easties make up any ground with that crazy BFS from "The Big Kahuner" just added? And will the Gulfies just keep floggin' the monkey? Stay tuned!

Finally! A Gulfie pulls one down!

Check out JohnS' BFS tale. If it doesn't punch a couple of numbers for the G's - there is no justice.

2 weeks left - and it's still the Eurpies? What the hell?
