What a half-way party did we have!!! We started the preparations by washing the cockpit with soap and water. We were so excited to open the box and when we did we found there was so much thought and love put into our half-way box! Absolutely loved the photo of Diane, Lisa, Sue and Becky L. We have it taped inside on the mast. All the food, booze, books, games, and gifts was very appreciated. We had cougar gold cheese, beef sausage & crackers as an appetizer. For dinner we had Beef Wellington, garlic mash potatoes and vegetables along with a couple bottles of Leonetti wine that Denny spoiled us with. Then for dessert we had lemon meringue pie. Very nice day!
I almost suffocated the crew this morning. So here's how it goes, in the morning I decided to make almond poppy seed muffins. They didn't smell right. When I opened the oven door I noticed last nights dinner spilled. So I figured since the oven was warm I'd spray a small amount of oven cleaner then close the door quickly. Well not quickly enough, all of a sudden everyone started coughing. I apologized profusely and felt so bad. (Actually they were all snoring so loudly I wanted some peace and quiet).
The other night Gregg pulled a double shift and let Denny sleep for 9 hours straight. Denny slept so hard and was snoring so loudly his nose was inverted and we had to use a toilet plunger to save him.
We are in fourth place and working hard to close the gap. We are using our new palm tree spinnaker and it looks great - isn't that all that really counts?
Becky (happy, 77 degrees)

Hey Team Kokomo,
Glad all is going well. Sounds more like a vacation than an ordeal with the exception of the sinus clearing courtesy of the First Mate!
Note to Bruce - in response to Anheuser-Busch being sold to Belgian brewer Inbev, Miller Brewing announced they are going out of business and selling all assets. Hang on to your MGDs, they are going for big bucks on eBay.
Cheers and Godspeed,

Hey Cambs,

Will,
Do not bother coming back to the PD if you don't have a first place trophy in your hands. As you can imagine, things are running rather smooth in your absence. Can't put a finger on it, but something is different........
