DAMN RIGHT!  These guys are always talking "hardball", right?  You bet your bippy!  Get out that rulebook they're always telling us to read and review that part about protests. "---or as an alternate, a red flag, shall be flown from the port shroud"; that will have to be the red stuff-bag from the sleeping bag. "Hail the judge on the committee boat at the finish line, and receive acknowledgment"; no sweat there.  Let's get this Hunter coming along here to witness the Rhodes' blunder.  Yep, he's cut off a full mile at least: easiest race we ever won: Well, easiest Division 1 of 6 we ever won; but hey?  When was the last time a Dovekie placed in an international yachting event?  Now to get this into perspective , we're talking first in division 1 for the day, and second in division for the week, which would be about 85th overall, but hey, WE'VE GOT HARDWARE!
