how could BU score twice in the last minute? Coach, You deserved the Cup. You won it in my book. Way to go everyone. Next year for sure. And the announcer, what an ass. SKINS rock. I may go out and skate tonite just to let out the frustrations of watching the heart braking loss. It's just that the closest ice right now is the cube in my rum Bilge Blaster. Hey Mik, sorry for not posting sooner. Next year we fish with the boys in the Ragged Islands. And coach, you looked so tall on nationalal TV...did they shrink the rink? Roo

Ok, two blog postings in one shot. Well?. We made in to Pete's Pub, almost. Took the dogs for a game of ball on the beach. George decided to play "you can't catch me". Lisa snuck up from behind, kinda lunged and totally smashed her foot into a rock. Hitched 25 miles into the big city, Marsh Harbor, for x-rays. Yup, broken foot, needs a cast. Doctor says leave it on for 6 weeks, no weight for 3?pretty hard on a boat. She's scooting around with a croc knee pad. I am now the official 'bow bunny" Left Pete's for a night in Hope Town and are currently anchored off Guana Cay. It's Saturday, a big sports day. The Masters is on now and tonite at 7 is the big event. Miami of Ohio is playing Boston College for the NCAA hockey Championship in Washington. GO SKINS! Wow. The hockey program there has just gotten better every year since I last skated for them back in 1978. And to all my ole team mates. GO SKINS. Later

Went to Spanish Wells but then back to Royal Island for the night but not after first going thru current cut with full sail at 10 knots during which we jibed and temporarily lost steering from a wicked, we think, counter current that spun us around and created much excitement for a few minutes. From there we did the dreaded Devils Backbone pilotless to Harbour Island all with excellent light, calm seas and without incident. Still traveling with Neverbored and currently prepping for a 6:30 AM shotgun start outta here and 60 miles north to Little Harbour, Southern Abacoes and with hopes to zoom on a brisk S-SW wind and arrive prior to front and the wind flip to NW at 25-30. Thawing out our squid and ready to catch some big fish on the way. Dunmoretown on Harbour Island is really unlike most places here in the Bahamas and we had fun walking all over town seeing the immaculately dressed locals on Palm Sunday and lollygagged by several churches that were rockin revival arm waving dance-o-ramas for Jesus. The beach on the Atlantic side is about the nicest and biggest anywhere, all pink. More from Pete?s Pub, Little Harbour after today?s long sail. There we hope to grab a mooring in the tiny cove to wait out the strong front coming. If no balls, then perhaps we can hunker right up to shore, throw out 2 anchors and raft up. There should be some good protection from the cliff with the big bat filled cave where Pete originally lived in the 50?s, had son of Pete, and both became well known sculptures in bronze with a gallery, killer sand floored pub and tasty Bilge Blasters. Cheers
