Favored End: October 2010
http://favoredend.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Another mature Laser sailor's thoughts on sailboat racing and other stuff. Monday, October 25, 2010. Sailing with Bob Verdugo. My good friend Bob Verdugo passed away suddenly and tragically last weekend. Bob and I haven't sailed together recently as I sold the J22 when he changed careers and went into real estate, effectively ending his ability to take weekends off, and my other regular, Dan Buan, needed to spend weekends with his growing family. Posted by Dr J. Wednesday, October 20, 2010. My perfomance...

Favored End: September 2009
http://favoredend.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Another mature Laser sailor's thoughts on sailboat racing and other stuff. Saturday, September 5, 2009. Another beautiful day on St. Margerets Bay. I'm getting spoiled. Seabreeze at 185, 14-18 kt. Temp about 70 F. Tried the boat end again but there was a pack of boats there so got a mediocre start. Went right, but not much happening in the way of shifts. Made sure I stayed in the middle of the course and that I didn't overstand. Rounded OK, maybe 10th. Posted by Dr J. I rounded first (what a kick! And wa...

Favored End: July 2008

Another mature Laser sailor's thoughts on sailboat racing and other stuff. Monday, July 21, 2008. Couch Potato, Part 2. In the middle of the big game yesterday (Justin Verlander, the best pitcher in baseball,. And his Tigers were beating my Orioles), I had to get up and pee. I didn't have to go very badly, so I thought this might be another fitness opportunity. Were burning just like. They do when I hike properly on my Laser. Posted by Dr J. Friday, July 18, 2008. So that's what hiking hard means! Posted...

Another mature Laser sailor's thoughts on sailboat racing and other stuff. Tuesday, September 30, 2008. Marcy Kaptur, democratic congresswoman from Ohio, understands exactly how the people of this country are feeling about the bailout legislation that was defeated yesterday. She bucked her own party and voted no on the proposed plan. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? Posted by Dr J. Wednesday, September 24, 2008. Thanks, Wall Street. Seems to me that if the real problem is the mortgages and other bad loans, ...

Favored End: It's Almost All Good

Another mature Laser sailor's thoughts on sailboat racing and other stuff. Wednesday, October 20, 2010. It's Almost All Good. Chesapeake Bay Laser Masters Championships. At the Fishing Bay Yacht Club in Deltaville, VA easily made my all-time top ten regatta list. The venue, hospitality, the gourmet dinner, and the weather made for a memorable autumn weekend. Also amazing was John Bertrand. Seven bullets in challanging conditions. Always goiing fast in the right direction. Too good! Third race I caught th...

Favored End: The Sunshine Open
http://favoredend.blogspot.com/2011/05/sunshine-open.html
Another mature Laser sailor's thoughts on sailboat racing and other stuff. Tuesday, May 10, 2011. It was a dark and stormy night. The laser fleet sat around on shore on Saturday as a major low pressure system moved up the east coast spawning tornados, heavy winds and rain then reconvened at SSA for an evening of good food, massages, and music. The next day dawned bright and sunny, but with a promise of lots of wind, this time from the west. A few hardy souls led by Dave, ventured out for 4 good races...

Favored End: Day 6 (Finally) and more
http://favoredend.blogspot.com/2010/10/day-6-finally-and-more.html
Another mature Laser sailor's thoughts on sailboat racing and other stuff. Monday, October 11, 2010. Day 6 (Finally) and more. Sorry for my absence. Day 6 of the 2009 Laser Masters Worlds in Halifax was totally frustrating, especially for Kim Couranz, Ted Morgan's wife. They both sailed in the same radial division and Kim couldn't seem to get her nose in front of Ted the entire regatta. Now she was not only ahead of Ted, but ahead of everybody! The Crab Claw Regatta a couple of weeks ago at SSA was a lot...
