hey blr, what do you do if a shark comes up from the deep so you can't even fight it off?
We see tons of sharks when we get to the Jacksonville area. I've straddled a shark with its fin out of the water between the hulls before. A couple years back someone nailed a shark with a dagger board sailing at about 22knts. Cut the stupid thing in half.

I've also shattered a dagger board by hitting a massive sea turtle, which doesn't go well with the conservationists. Tons of sea life is seen on this trip. In Savannah area there are monster jelly fish that kick up rudders and get caught on the dagger boards. The first half of the trip I've had flying fish hit me and land on the boat. The best is when pods of dolphins surround the boat and play with you

indeed. Acats are to N20s as F1 is to Nascar.

I became a cyclist because my physique was more Nascar than F1.

In the first Jaws (I think it was the first one) in one scene the shark comes into the harbor under a bridge. I have ridden a bicycle over the bridge a few times.

Looks like a ton of fun. How many bikes will I have to give up to buy one of those though?

It clutters up the place and distracts from all the serious threads.

I just looked out my apartment window. I can see two different cars stuck on the road, with a bunch of not stuck angry people lined up behind them. Wonder if they'll shut stuff down tomorrow and I can stay home.

My sister is more generous than me. She yelled out the window offering people shovels for people to dig themselves out. I was just holding a beer and enjoying the show.

You need to start drinking heavily. You need to get your mind right.

The guy that dug himself out with our shovel moved about 10 feet and parked in a no parking zone. Streets are a mess.
