That was so much better than the turkey day race. I hate going backwards. I am glad we did not trim the keel but we did have issues moving the boat.
I was watching the weather and saw the 5 knot wind to the west of us and am glad it stayed west. I was down below when they loaded the boat up and everything was flying around the cabin. Water was rising in the sinks and we had to stop to drain the sinks and close the valves.
Each of us was asking why do we do this? It was warm in my bed. The women think we are crazy. (and we are) Maybe it was the hot todies that inspired us because at the end of the race i dont remember being cold and wet. I know that we will have a rush on dry boots at west marine today.
Terry i have some wood i can donate to solve that 3 foot draft problem on Katana. Maybe a centerboard that raises and lowers. All you have to do is cut a hole in the bottom of the boat. Actually have a diver check to make sure they put the keel back on after the bottom job.
Actually next week it probablty will be light and we will owe you beer. Hey were is that beer anyway im thirsty.
Se ya next week and Thanks for the hot todie recipe we will double the batches and have four thermoses full. If you see us going the wrong way we got into the todies too early. If you see s's in the water that is normal that means Walter is driving.
