Evening all!  Nearly forgot about today's sailaway,  Busy watching rugby for the last two hours.  Yah, I know it's the game we play over here with the egg shaped ball!

 

Anyway, just in time for Indy sailing out and soon O'dam!

 

Who's playing and who's winning?

Ireland playing New Zealand (All Blacks).

Ireland won 16 pts to 9 pts.

First time they have beaten the world champions in Ireland.  Previously beat them in Chicago! at Soldier Field.

He sure told Mr. One Engine off!😲

In the original plans, HAL was supposed to get five, not four, Vista-class ships. Would have been interesting to see what they would have called the fifth ship; Zuid-Westerdam? Noord-Oosterdam?

Yeah, but when he thought he was addressing the ship he thought he was seeing and asked about the mast height, he had the wrongo-dongo. It pays to know who you're talking to

not necessarily. Just after the 'center' point.

[Copper10-8]

Three standard toeters from Capt. Michiel Willems but no Canuck flags 

[ski ww]

Toots sound a little weak, Bon Voyage, fair wind & smooth seas.
