…but by the first turn we were in the lead…


…we won by a couple hundred yards.

LOL: We sure could have. In fact the wind was gusting a bit to maybe 20kts - had us going a steady 8 to 12ish: Maybe on outer, outer band?

Full disclosure: that was not my boat, I was crewing on a boat called Chesapeake which is much faster.

Today was spent getting my boat ready for the tropical storm that is hitting about now .

Our prayers and wishes go out to the folks on the Gulf Coast:

Ouch…

Such a delight!

I don’t have a pic, but the Brits in the crowd should confirm that there is an English dish called “Spotted Dick” :grimacing:

Why it is called that, I do not know.

Yes, quite! :slightly_smiling_face:

I lived in the UK for 3 years (in Brampton CAMBS / assigned to RAF Molesworth) which is how I became aquatinted with British puddings and the like…and haggis on Burn’s Night at the RAF Mess, etc. (I joined an RAF Officers mess…um…well…I guess since this is the photos forum, I’lll offer this one…

…on our way to an RAF Officer’s Mess Summer Ball.)

…anyway, my favorite traditional dish, potatoes roasted in goose fat. That said I never actually ran across Sotted Dick in the TESCO or M&S.

For those of you who haven’t experienced living the UK, just watch a couple seasons Downton Abbey and you will catch on soon enough. :sunglasses:

Nothing like a nice bit of Spotted Dick , preferably with custard. :laughing:

You see a lot of Spotted Dick served up as pudding in school dinners for some reason… :thinking:

After 3 years you’ve at least experienced your guests “laying the table” for you to eat. :slightly_smiling_face:

Now where did I put my fanny pack… :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Earlier today my son put on a fishing clinic. Five of us were fishing…he caught ten fish and none of the rest of us caught a single fish. I think he is a fish whisperer. (His name “Kai” means “of the sea”…so who knows…)

Hello from Thor’s Well on the Oregan Coast.

After dealing with some health issues I started feeling better last week and decided I needed some fresh air… so off we went to the NW coast.
