AS LONG TALL STATED SO ELOQUENTLY it was ( for some) a great day for sailing with many many fine bumps…..line entanglements …. boats on the hard …and gear failure but the real racing was done from the rear where true sailing is performed Any silly buggar can go across the line first or second but who remembers the tussle at the rear echelon where the true real sea dogs are fighting the elements the weed the waves the wind trying to rip the sails from the mast thingi who sees this …only the brave at the other end that’s who and when they finally decide to cross the line …no ones there to see the triumphant crossing of the few …… so sad but as true sailors they don’t care about the glory the pat on the back the glory is being second from last this does not relate to duck hunter or RON B its just a story of sailing ……. and as for Geoff and the duck hunter in a dash for the line duck hunter sensing a easy victory over a true gentlemen decided in a flash to give his obvious win to a fellow sailor who was down on his luck on the day that fellow yacht’es is what we do sailing at the pond
