Bucking Bar

That's the most homoerotic post I've ever read, anywhere.

I know, and the neighbors!

You might want to watch out for four stripers, too. Some of us are a year or two older and a few numbers junior. It's the only way we will ever move up.

OK, that's and even better Google Search than "Funny Florida Mugshots" ... "Florida Stripper Mugshots"

Sailing accidents do happen. If an olympic gold medal sailor can die in a boat accident, well, who knows...Timbo, be careful out there. Your safety is my primary concern.

After I told her all about flying, I started to talk about myself. She liked me, I could tell.

Timbo

Yeah, I'm sure it is...

But I'm still not getting on the down escalator in front of you!

As for the guy who died yesterday on the 72 catamaran, yeah, scary stuff! They've got those things foiling now and going about 45 knots! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6dnOlE9sjk

I guess it was 21 gusting to 33 yesterday on SFO Bay. They got a big gust, flipped it, the guy who died was at the back of the boat, which means he was 60+ feet in the air when the bows went down. They say he got trapped under the tramp for 10 minutes but he may have been unconscious when he hit the water if he hit his head (wearing a helmet but it still hurts!) in the crash. A sad day for cat racing.

Luckily my little cat is only 16' so when I crash, it only hurts a little, like these two kids! (this is not me, but it's the same type catamaran, and yes I've done the "Peter Pan" at the end of this clip too many times!)

I'll put up a couple vids. so you can see what these new fast foiling cats look like. They will be racing for the America's Cup this summer on the Bay, July-August. If any of you have a SFO layover, get on down to the St. Francis Yacht Club and take a look.

Here's the crash of the Oracle boat, back last October. I'm guessing yesterday's accident looked something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRW21FubyY4

Home built flying submarines are a great hobby for senior pilots. I'm sure we can get some pushers for the launch crew.

I think the key to success is the hat. Note that this homebuilt flying submarine has the right departure attitude to climb out at V2+10.

I know you guys all want to pitch in and buy me a hang glider, right?

What could go wrong??
