I have a big regatta



I have big Optimist Regatta in Setubal Junho 23 and 24 Nacional Infantil Optimist.

My mouth now does not hurt, but I have bad hand.

Hello Tom and Mark...

Fred,

Congratulations! It was obvious to me in our sailing together that you are a true sailor. You are very comfortable on deck and hold your course well. Sailors of old used to play tricks on their shipmates and I still wonder if you put that spider in my bunk.You certainly laughed hard enough about it.

Congratulations on your newest opportunity in racing. You will learn a lot and have a great time. Keep up all your hard work and we will be cheering for you next weekend.

I was very impressed with you as a young man. Your mother and father, and YOU, should be very proud. Now, just keep your father calm during your races.

Your Friend,

Tom

Fred,

One last thing. I was looking at pictures and my little red headed granddaughter walked into the room. I showed her your picture and told her that I sailed with you last week. She said...That's nice. Then she looked at the picture and said "HE'S CUTE!"

Good luck

Tom

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.

Ahhh Tom...you reminded me of that...shall I tell or you do???

I'll do it....

When Tom cruised with us, on the first night he went to sleep. Tom was occupying Fred's cabin, and Fred was sleeping with me, and was sort of pissed off I had let a guest sleep in his cabin....(he actually has a sticker on the door saying its his cabin)...anyway

Tom woke up in the morning, and although Fred smirks and says he didn't do it....Tom woke up and when he opened his eyes had a gigantic plastic tarantula right in his nose!!!! Scared the **** out of Tom!!!

eheheheheheh

That was funny...Fred denies any envolvment....

I don't think it was Fred... might have been Fred's tarantula... but I think his father may have helped the spider along a bit.
