Here is what I see! first boat is just a big Bully! You shouldn't let her push you around.(you should be able to settle that one on the beach but be careful I have seen her fight...She's pretty tough) Third boat owes you a little buffing and a sincere apology! You guys still sailing? I got the 16 on the beach but we are getting close to pulling it.
Hell yeah we are still sailing! The water is still pretty nice. That was last Sunday, the last race day of the Fleet Championship. (and to funny to NOT post here) We have one more weekend of fleet fun racing on Oct 26th. Then I always figure out how to get the boat on the water at least once in November.
The matter was settled on the beach.. and doesn't matter anyway.. Regardless if this one was scored as a win for her or not. She needed to win every race on the last day to have a chance to beat me in the series, and that didn't happen,
Although, she was mad at me for "not sailing my own race".
All I had to do was beat her on the day. (a tall order most of the time) so it took some careful explanation that match racing her was "my own race" for the day.
What can I say.. I wasn't about to let her get away sailing faster like she usually does. I didn't need to win races... I only need to have her NOT win. I had throwouts to cover any bad scores for the day
So I indulged myself in tactical games.. It was GREAT fun.
