  1. On your previous boat, the Farr, what was terminal velocity? At what speed did you start dialing back? I'm guessing mid-20's. Having gone 30 in a poling skiff, I cannot really imagine that with sails up. I can speak to a j/22 - at about 14 knots through the water, you really cannot improve your hand. As the wind increases you sail deeper and deeper, while the waves increase but, unless you're in the southern ocean on that 22, you'll submarine into the back of the next wave, load up and fold the rudder. Some guy on Sailing Anarchy claims 23.1 on a 22. That just didn't happen and I would bet a lot on it. I've gone faster on a Melges but I wouldn't say we ever hit terminal velocity. I've seen some pictures from the gorge where m24 sailors have fear in their eyes.
  2. This is like arguing with my sister's kids.
  3. You’ll have to show me. I won’t believe it until I see it. Maybe you’ll have some time mid-July, Chicago area? I can free up a few days in my schedule, just to make sure this thing is legit and you didn’t get scammed.
  4. Your boat is amazing. I predict ass will be hauled. When does it get paint?
  5. G650. When do you start working on things like sail design and inventory? Are North and Quantum the only two serious sailmakers, or are there other options? Does your sailmaker guy sail with you regularly or nah?
  6. Go race recreationally for a year. Free classes on sailboat operation. dont expect to be on a boat like g650. He’s on a very high level.
  7. All this rabies talk has hexxed me. I think I have strep throat. Damn.
  8. I think you fucked that up. It’s either “all is fair in love and war,” or “all is well that ends well.” my man helobius is rabid, so it’s probably not going to end well. You must mean love and war.
  9. This, but I also kept hoping the fbi guy would flip out. At some point in time a red blooded American male who has observed years of child molestation just has to take matters into his own hands and effect the solution. Manners and rules be damned. Hate me all you want but if I saw any one of you sleeping with a 12 year old girl, chances are good that we would fight.
  10. if you want to clear your head of that YouTube video, search for frog sushi. You’ll forget about the rabies coursing through your veins, for a little while.
  11. This is what it’s going to look like.
  12. Stoopid sip. That’s a possessive postrophy, ‘cuz we owned 2012. Advantage aggy.
  13. If you have options, the Aloft hotel worked ok for me.
  14. Do you even Apocalypse Now, bro?
  15. Isle of dogs was good. My whole damned family enjoyed it - each of us for different reasons - I hope it wins.
  16. For something out of Venice area, call this guy. Probably he’ll put you in Hopedale but he’s good, has good guide jokes and bullshit and I would use him again. https://www.flybayou.com/aboutmichael/
  17. I’ve played a lot of basketball in my day, and my feet look nothing like that. I think this is something else.
  18. How does the chandeliers trip work ? Stay on a houseboat and get ferried over from the mainland? I just did a 2- nighter in hopedale here http://www.southernwaycharters.com/dogwood-lodge-hopedale/ it was pretty easy. Hopedale is not much to speak of but fishing access was good.
  19. Economists be damned. I wouldn’t trade any one of 21-25 for aggy.
  20. /csb on that tour in 1996 my friends and my brother caught the show in the woodlands and, afterward, on the walk to the parking lot, got in a fight with some group of dudes and took some serious ass kickings. I was in France that summer so all I can say when they talk about their group asswhipping at the Adam Sandler show is ... cool story, bro.
  21. Watching a punter with a stupid haircut unravel on national tv is quality entertainment.
  22. Why is holgo such a whiner?
  23. Lateshow - don't forget the in-laws - I'm pretty sure some of yours will go a long way for pills and cheap vodka.
  24. Damn. mother-in-law’s brother comes into town with his wife to visit for the holiday. Gonna all hang out at my house because it’s nice and mother-in-law’s house sucks. Go to dinner. come back home. all is well - they’re olds so boring af, but whatever. I can abide. Sit around fireplace and talk about nothing. brother of mil goes into my bathroom and has a shit explosion. now we’re at the “can we borrow some of your clothes,” stage of the evening. sure you can. Would you like to borrow some bleach and some cleaning supplies too? damn.
  25. When the jehovas witness housekeeper moves max and allie (our home’s two (yes 2) elfs on the shelf) while cleaning because testigos de jehovah don’t understand Christmas for shit, and then after a suck day at work I have to explain to my kids why even though someone broke the cardinal rule and touched the elves, we’re probably ok and the magic is intact. dammit.
