With the price of $3.25 a gallon for 89 octane at the gas station, the price of 93 octane at the marina should be about $4.00 a gal.
So the trip to AC this summer for me should come to about $1200.00. For fuel. I'll be sleeping on the boat and bringing a brown bag for lunch.

But small miracales are still happening. I'm talkin' about the boat race between Crowsnest and the Irish Wake. Saturday night off the Jersey Coast, North Atlantic. There is no rain date. Weather conditions play no part either. These are BERTRAM 31's. Bubble boats and BrownFinns stay clear at least eight hundred feet. No, make that yards.

I'm getting ahead of myself...

What I wanted to say about the fuel bill is this: There's going to be a lot of money won on the race. This will be a big "gaming event". Trump might want in.
And I intend to walk away with the pot. And you guys can to. We'll share the winings.

How?

I'll need a crew. We will need a navigator, tachtician, engineer(for the BigBlocks), electrician, deck boss, look outman, flagman (she flies at least fve flags all the time),helmsman. (I may not be up to it !).We might need a lawyerman too.

The only qualification is that you are one of the "Faithfull".

Captain's meeting at 1700 hours- some might call it cocktail hour. You can call it what ever you want. And this might be the most difficult time-- getting thru this meeting.

Who's in besides Trump?
