I was hunting Yachtworld hard to try and find a boat to use. I couldn't find any Farrs that were far away shots without all that racing crap all over them. Bad decision on the Farr. Just thought JeffH would have something to say!!! Of course, if I would have used a trimaran, you would not have caught it!!

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.

Bit by bit Guiletta is running away from you crazy latin bluebottle person you. Soon all you will have are the barnacles on her bum. Keel is next, it's already loosened it's bolts and is preparing to make a break for freedom.

Oh god! All the whining, make it stop! Are you sure you're not French?
