QUESTION OF THE DAY…What if TOWER is too pretty?

Is Tower too pretty and clean, how will you grind and bang her up to get her going fast for the WEEKS it is going to take? I think the boat is going to have to show up beat up, dented and punked up to win – will Doug let this happen? Perhaps he should have done the paint after TRANSPAC me thinkith.

 B.D.W. (= “By da Wah” which is  pig’gin for BY THE WAY)  NICE RAINBOW SAIL BOYS  – ya’ll fit right in to the harbor. lassies.

C3PO: “The List it keeps getting longer!”

The wookie: “GROWL-ARRGGHHH I TOLD YOU the list always gets longer then you throw the damn list away and go sailing to Hawaii…”

C3PO: “Ok just put enough food on the boat and I will be fine..”

That is the lovely boat Ripple as she sheds a bitter tear for the McKee Brothers and Paul Bieker AC teams a fond “adious” or “adieu” or what ever language they are speaking these days in Valencia, Why picture of Ripple? well as of yet..  Martin-Yoda has not sent me  the Maddog any of the pictures from the sail as of yet.  The ITC went out on Tower not Ripple and put the wee-flappy up. This spinnaker was rigged and put up with no problems, this spinnaker is light air target but will perform up to 12k.   Pressing question, Will the B&G instruments ever be installed? time will tell., Yawn..  Will the wine maker work? — that is up to young Luke and his youthfull powers of the force to install the said beastie, dial left for red and right for white… is that right?  The real question will the McJones family take Ripple to Catalina on time before the race?

THE Pedro Famous sailing industry professional Jib Kelly is installing the electronics and hooking up Justins Tuff book with the Routing software.  This is a major step forward!  Thanks Jib!  Jib Kelly Marine perhaps not all sailing professionals are flakes, your call…does it work boyz?  Will the hyperdrive be disabled by Bubba Fet?
