Hair of the Dog Visits Vancouver
This past weekend the Hair of the Dog team hauled the boat up to Vancouver for the Canadian J24 Nationals at WAVES 2008. It was hosted by the snazzy Royal Vancouver Yacht Club with its strict no cellphone and no hat rules.
We didn’t sail well Friday. Then there was no sailing Saturday, just a lot of bobbing around, but we did place 2nd at the drink competition later that afternoon with out modified Dr.Pepper (drop a shot of Southern Comfort in a glass of half beer, half Coke.) On Sunday our best race result was a third.

…drinking but tomorrow we are heading to Vancouver for the Canadian J24 championships and there is a drink(ing) competition on Saturday night:
Put your creative minds and taste buds together to develop a drink that you would be proud to serve your mother!
Drinks will be judged on taste, originality and presentation – prize for “the best”
Any suggestions!?
Oh, and the weekend before last I was in Las Vegas and lo and behold I booked my flight for the Monday instead of the Sunday. How many times have I done that?? In fact, this is the second time I have booked a flight to/from Vegas on the wrong day!
