If you have ever wondered how much fun it would be to go offshore racing, then we have a video for you. The folks
who like this sport are certainly a breed apart – most people don’t want to be wet
and miserable, cold and clammy for days on end, but offshore sailboat racers thrive
on it. More power to them -- oops, that’s more wind to them. The best thing about
this sport is when you go off watch, you get to take off your wet foul weather gear
(it all leaks, of course) and climb into a bunk still damp from the guy who just
got out of it. Then there is the problem of the boat being knocked on its ear every
so often, dumping the crew out of their bunks. Ah, the sailing life! As we said,
it looks like fun to us. To see what it’s like, run the video.
