The eternal struggle of good vs evil
Maybe the title is talking it up a bit, but it a bit like that when
it comes to the ongoing vendetta that Pomfret seems to have against
us in the 18s.
Why? no idea.
Maybe its an insecurity thing. I mean an unsponsored 30 year old
coming last must be pretty disappointing. Maybe its that we made
the Worlds cut and he didn’t. Maybe its a lack of self-awareness
about one’s place in the scheme of things.
Anyway, he and his helm (the bowman is actually friendly) decided
to take us to a protest yesterday about a water incident on the
first work. There was no collision, but we both had to take
avoiding action. The blind bloke even went so far as to accuse me
of lying in the protest - and for the life of my I can’t remember
the last time I’ve been called a liar by anyone.
So we were disqualified… a bit of a joke really… embarassing to
be blown out by someone who finished the race 2nd last.
Oh well… what can you do.
Now its a race for 14th between SX, Herman, Belle and us. All
separated by 4 points. The Championship within the Championship
continues tomorrow.
Lucky there’s a layday today - I am truly destroyed after 7 days of
sailing, early starts at work and late nights. Last night didn’t do
me any favours… All the 18 guys (well except for those that
aren’t really part of the class - guess?) got together in North
Sydney for Jack’s 40th… ouch.
Overall results below… before the DSQ takes effect.
