No Har-Bowl!
But why Joe, why?
Some say it's because of a couple of goats.
Goat numero uno. Billy Cundiff shanked a 32-yard field goal with 11 seconds left and the Patriots escaped with a 23-20 victory in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday. "Exit, stage left!"
Goat numero dos. Kyle Williams touched the football with his knee and the Giants recovered it, which led to a score. But wait, there's more!
With 9:42 remaining in the extra quarter, Williams caught a Steve Weatherford punt, turned upfield, ran five yards and then had the ball popped loose by Jacquian Williams. Five plays later, Lawrence "I'm not Billy Goat Cundiff " Tynes kicked the game winning field goal, sending the East Rutherford Giants to the Super Bowl. Goodnight, turn off the lights!
The "Superbaugh" will have to wait for another day.

What would you do if you lost your mast?
Lucky for these lads and lassies, the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) was nearby.

A brief clip of Dr. King's famous speech.

Longer version.
A guy who didn't let obstacles get in his way. Dr. King gave his life, and changed a nation.
Brrrrrr, Some Guys Are More Dedicated Sailors Than Others.

You can count me in the not dedicated category. I'm whining like a baby because it's 50°F (10°C) today in the City By The Bay. (I wonder what it is if you factor in wind chill?)

We're going sailing!
I Almost Forgot.
Have a great weekend!
Get your butts off that sofa, and out onto the water!
Get Your Butts Off That Park Bench, And Out Onto The Water!
Sailing Around The Harbour.
I say Percy, what would happen to the chap pictured in the photo above if he lost his electrics?
It would end in tears my lad, end in tears.
Fish On Fridays.
I say Percy, fancy some lunch at the beach club? Capital idea, old chap.

You don't need any equipment to go bodysurfing.
Maybe that's why you don't see it hyped in the Surfzines.

Before SUPs Were SUPs.
Stand Up Paddling has been around along time.
Chinese fisherman on the Li River have been standing up on bamboo rafts and paddling for centuries.

Yep, SUPs have been around along time.

Can you sail? from Simon kearns on Vimeo.
Sailing is a great way to impress a wahine, especially when you know what you are doing.
That was classic! Thank you Mr. Tweezerman.
Tweezerman Tuesday!
According to the Tillerman, Tweezerman's Earwigoagin (try saying that after 2 Manhattans) is the best sailing blog on the planet. I disagree, it's a tie between the two Tees. The best sailing blogs on the planet...make that existence so we don't confuse a gelatanous sailor on Ceti Alpha V ... are a Proper Course and Earwigoagin.Your cans of spinach are waiting for you in the lobby.
What a heroic looking chap!
