Just a few weeks left! And it looks like it's coming down to the Easties and the Eurpies.

Oh the suspense!

Maybe the Westies are still out sailing. They need to come into a harbor, login and vote. Or heave-to for a moment and power up the satellite link. They could lose this poll nerely because they'd rather keep sailing.

Meanwhile, the world financial markets have already "priced-in" an easties win, setting stock prices accordingly. They are calling it the economic groundhog day. If the easties see this shadow, there will be 4 less weeks of recession.

And somewhere out there, there's a crew mid-ocean, trying to figure out which way to sail so they can vote appropriately. They realize how much is at stake!

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.

Woah, woah, woah - am I to understand that the Eurpies votes are somewhat tainted?

Wow. This is a serious allegation.

you of all people here should know me better...I am what you see...

I recruited no one...any of the new comers from Portugal are tottally unknown to me, and appart from what we spoke here we have not spoken to each other...

Don't be a sore loser...losing with style, is honorable...no need to bad mouth the competition to make one better....

All I am saying is what you have is what you see....we are outnumbered...but we are honest...and present REAL photos, videos and humanly sailable wind speeds...
If you feel you are losing ground to any one here...go out, sail and post...don't belittle others....

What the hell is happening to you Dog???

Umm...then why did the link in one of your Portugese language posts lead to this thread???

You were definitely recruiting... BUSTED... Not that I mind... I'd vote for Fred again in a heartbeat...

Remember, the Eurpies were losing until everyone saw Fred sail. The young gentleman is going to win it for his continent!
