this has got to be dumbest thing I've ever done and you guys have some kind of brain dysfunction.
But before the KPRR weekend was out I was already making plans and closing deals for next year assuming Chuck, Warren and Craig are up for another go.
Did you wake up Friday morning with a sort of malaise that you weren't getting ready to shove off the beach?
Its like a drug.
Sorry if I missed it in all the posts,
But what happened to the N6.0 listed in the entries?

He had a sick relative and could not sail.
Great race recap from Dave Ingram now on USF18.com

Nice write-up Ding!
Group Input needed: How do you handle the
exposure
portion of distance racing (which seems to be the largest challenge in my mind)? Bouncing around in the ocean 8-16 hours on the wire (limiting mobility) would seem to be both a physical and mental challenge.
ya just HTFU

Great write-up!

Yeah, but I'm old, soft and slow... not nearly the sailing pornstars you are.
But that doesn't mean I can't/won't eventually do some distance sailing and I'd be willing to bet some of this would benefit me (it's always about me...)

Ok, I'll prime the pump. Jake gave me a bit of comfort advice but I ignored it and regretted it. He told me to buy a cheap shorty wetsuit and cut the bottoms off and wear them as a pair neoprene shorts. I didn't and 3 hours into the second day was cursing myself for being stupid. Being uncomfortable is an incredible distraction and the time you spend fidgeting looking for some relief is time spent going slow.
Secondly and this has been said by many, eat and stay hydrated. The last hour is when everyone is weakest and begins to let their guard down ( I sure did ) and if you have the gas you can make gains. Plus you need to keep your head on straight and maintaining your body properly really helps you sort things out.
There is much much more and I'm sure those with the miles and the hours will chime in.
Sent it to Rick for his magazine and forgot to double check if he posted it on the site:

I like to include
estimated evaporation
that would/could have occurred when accepting late payment for any liquid payments
Todd can no longer hold my rum debt over my head. It has been paid... with interest 😛
The interest may need to be re-calculated with all the passing time, inflation, and such, so you may not be in the clear yet. The timing was absolutely perfect though, and it could not have been any better.It was good getting to see you for the brief time that you got to hang out, but you were supposed to have at least one rum drink from the payoff with me, excuse accepted though.

In case it wasn't seen above, Dick Macdonald's excellent summary. If you're on the fence this and Dave's write-up http:/
give a great summary of what went down and how much fun you're missing out on.
