It is the best

Thing that the human species does as a group- the Olympics.
We haven't had much doin's in the cruising world for a bit, but we have had a lot of Olympic viewing.
Absolutely some of my favorite times this summer have been watching the athletes perform- what joy, what effort, what inspiration.
The joy of victory, the agony of defeat, seems like a trite saying- but never more apt than in this event. While the rest of the planet suffers through economic issues, human-on-human violence, and some of the strangest severe weather we have ever seen, the Olympic athletes provide some much needed diversions.
Of course my biggest complaint is the lack of yachting coverage, but we are a unique subset of the species as a whole.
But really, if it was to all end tomorrow for us all, we can be proud of the Olympics as an example of the best in mankind.
