I told you we shouldn’t race against the Russians.
‘Shoot’! I saw that going differently in my head.
I told you the Coast Guard was here not that we had to use them.
Roll tacking at its finest
No worries, the Russians are here to help!
It’s the Coast Guard! Quick, dump the contraband!
“Skipper! Our roll tack needs a tune up.”
I’ve heard sailing described as flying sideways. But this this shows the reverse does not apply to flying.
Ease the sheet, got a little weather helm!
I said go to the high side!!!
Rail-meat, stop pulling before you become become shark-bait

Hold my beer….
We should have gone skiing in Sarajevo
Novel way to get some shrimp for the Post-race Barbie!
Oh FFS, there HAS to be a better way to get a plastic bag off the keel.
Keep the boat flat vertically, not horizontally!
I know I said I wanted to get my feet wet, just thought there was another way….
Do you think the Coast Gaurd saw us wipe out?
Did you guys close the port side port lights?
OK the bilge water is spilled overboard, now let’s get this boat back up on the foil. Who forgot the bucket?
Come on boys, I said weather side!
I always tell Cap’n he takes the Horn too fast
