I remember one year when Eyrie was holding out in the shallows east of TI avoiding the current and avoiding muddying the anchor. After an hour or more of the instruments reading 00.00 for both wind speed and boat speed, we broke out the rum as a tactic to keep me from running around the boat trying to make us go faster (more like stop going backwards faster). By mid afternoon we hadn't even made it around one mark and we were 'Out Of Booze' (being a serious racing vessel we only carried a supply for 2 rounds), so we radioed to the RC, dropping out and declaring ourselves OOB.

Ride, captain ride upon your mystery ship. Be amazed at the friends you have here on your trip.
