Zeke - I did my second race last weekend - kind of got smoked - 3rd across the line but 4th after handicap. But had serious wind and a good day out - and a case of beer - so still good fun.

We will officially change the name of the boat when we haul her out for some maintenance in a few weeks. The current leader in the new name contest is TROPICAL BEAVER. My partner in the boat is Canadian, and the Beaver is the national animal of Canada (or so the story goes). Anyway, i know a lot about beavers, so was game when he suggeted THE BEAVER, but then we wanted something more appropriate for Singapore, so we are down to TROPCIAL BEAVER or PARADISE BEAVER, or even BEAVER PARADISE... But TROPICAL BEAVER is the leader.

Will post a pic after the paint job.

Oh, come now, Hamhock. You're already so close to the name that you are destined to use. Think it through. Your vessel will be named "Tropical Beaver <<insert 3rd word>>".

You can probably guess where I'm going, but I'll give you a hint: 6 letters, starts with P and ends with L.

Got it?

P.S. Are you around the week after next? I'm in Penang this week and KL next week, but will need some significant beer consumption to unwind the week of the 22nd.

... P A T R O L.

How can you hear (or read) the word 'beaver' and not have the word 'patrol' spring immediately to mind????

Amen.

P.S. Hamhock - I'm around Singapore next week. Are you around, and would chilled bevs be of interest on Tuesday PM?
