[Bob Crinion]

It did not seem to bother them much, it appeared that the rougher it got,
the more they enjoyed it!

I liked the part where somebody was about to take a bite of lunch and got a
wave down his neck!

Hey Gord,

Did you get to see that Alberg video on your MAC?

That was a good video; I enjoyed the sound effects too...

I'll have to burn that to a DVD to show friends at home.

It would be fun to see more video footage of the Alberg 30's sailing.
I especially like the part where the sailors are casually eating lunch, as
if it was a calm day sail.  No problem!

I knew a fellow when I was a boy whose parents took the tiller away from
their boat so that he could not take it out without permission (I thought he
was amusing then, now that I am a father I shudder to think what sort of
child would drive parents to resort to such a thing...)  Undaunted, he
snapped a  large set of Vice Grips to the shaft and went on several late
night expeditions in the boat.
