I didn't log onto Dave's because of all of the registry stuff, but I had fun doing Warren's, and no, I didn't make a perfect score, and no, I am not going to say how many I missed. :), just be aware that if you're ever next to me on the course that I am a pretty dangerous guy.

Mickey, they are dangerous scenarios for sailors who live by the simple port/starboard rules.

Rule 11 only gives me new obligations for keeping clear if Rule 16 is understood fully by everyone who sails against me now that I'm trying to keep clear ... I've been standing in front of a mirror this morning practicing my concerned look for " Oh! shock horror, I'm trying to keep clear, but you haven't given me room or enough time to keep trying for long enough. PROTEST!!! "

At the starting line today, if anyone says, "Hold it up, hold it up !!! or Keep it up, keep it up !!! I'm just going to be starting OCS ... and that little red flag is going straight up.
