Svendsen's Thursday Night #8 at Treasure Island Sailing CenterMay 22

Story
Just like Sessions's heckling- a lot of talk, little to show for it...

What promised to be a blowin', ripping the bark of the trees, "blowin' the cheese of the cheeseburger" kind of night ended up as a... oh boy this is lame, light air, drifter.

17 Vanguards and 15 Lasers turned out to sailing in the tapering breeze for a beautiful evening of racing. Few of us resorted to beers on course- a liability faux pa so don't do it- to help drowned our hopes of hiking for the night.

The return of Richards proved to be the title for the night- with 4 bullets (the first one was lucky...) they dominated. Proof that being Social Chairs really does improve your karma- even for Mr Meatball! Post race commentary (which was followed up by the nightly winners manadatory shot of Mount Gay) revealed their game plan: "start conservatively mid-line, tack and take transons to get right (north), hang out to the wall or as far as you can and take the starboard up to the mark. Play shifts downwind, ride the puffs down as long as possible." - pearls, pearls I say, of wisdom... personally, I think it was all Katie...

Other highlights:
- meatballs!!!!!!
- starboard favored line
- someone's crew fell out on the last tack to the finish in a race and was dragged across the line, losing 4-5 boats in the process.
- Adam S said I didn't yell at him- have to correct that next week
- Secret stash of PBR came out late!!!
- Top 5 won... beer!
- 70 degrees at 9:30pm- wonderful night.

For those that bailed... what's up?????

Thanks to social chairs for providing 3 crockpots of meatballs and a cooler full of variety to compliment.

See ya all next week!
