The sailing season looms with the first race scheduled for Sunday, April 6, gathering at 10 am for an 11 am prompt start. Watch this space for any changes to the start date. In the meantime a short ditty:
A recreational boater, a tugboat crewman, and an old salt sailor went into a bar and each ordered a beer. Each found a fly in their beer (it must have been the special of the day).
The recreational boater looked in his beer and said: "Hey bartenders I have a fly in my beer. Give me another beer."
The tugboat crewman looked in his beer, found the fly, reached in and picked it out and continued drinking.
The old salt sailor looked in his beer, saw the fly, grabbed it by the wings, shook it over the glass and yelled: "Spit it out, spit it out!"
