Don't
Tony and I look thrilled?!!! :( Tony came as close to criticism
as I have ever had from him
when
he said "You are too serious!" "Harrumph," said Al or words to that
effect.
As I revealed to Richard
Watterson in an email late last night:
Just
edited the last of the Mids pics and have come to the conclusion they
captured the moment when Jim H had just claimed we fouled him at the
finish of race 7 when I thought we'd cleared him, which was the last
straw in a series of sub-par results for us. After this I told Tony I'd
had enough and we were quitting and heading back to shore. We were
almost at the dock when reason prevailed and we did sail the finale and
are glad we did. Having said that, I can let you be the first to know
that unless I can line up a keen, light and capable crew (e.g. Sue
Pilling or Steph) for the 2014 Mids, I will make next year the year I
try out an MC. As I edit, I am already finding questions to ask Scott
and Dave (copied). ........
