Yea he also admitted to cheating using the iron sail. :o I guess you just can't trust a pirate anymore like back when the phrase "honor among thieves" meant something. :P :P :P

I'm glad everyone had a good time and the admiral said that she really enjoyed the two younger pirates a lot and that they were exceptionally well behaved. Even better than their captain. :wink: At least they would have known how to properly plug in an antennae. :D :D :D :D

For those that could not make it, you missed one of the best days of sailing as conditions were perfect for honing in sailing skills. I got the boat over to 45 degrees which puts the rub rail in the water. I know cause the wife was sitting on the stern rail seat hanging her feet to the outside which puts the rub rail at the soul of her foot. She pulled her foot up and showed the depth was up to her ankles. I told her that's to be expected when were sailing in ankle deep water (only in a Mac) 8) 8) . Also watching the sailor in front making all the mistakes so you don't look as novice as them huh Vic. :) I'm referring to what could only be called a knock down in my book cause my inclinometer does not go that far over and our hanging cloths that has never moved in the boat since new in 2011 was thrown to the leeward side with a thud. :o :o :o :o :o.
Alas I cannot post any pics cause I forgot the camera however everyone else got beautiful shots.

:evil: :evil: AND FOR THE RECORD TOM, UNTIL YOU TELL ME YOUR SECRET, I REFUSE TO BELEIVE YOU DID NOT USE YOUR ENGINE AFTER OUR KNOCKDOWN. :evil: :evil: You guys took off and left us in your spray. You were so far ahead a couple of times it was hard to see you. :P :P
