Ingredients
2 ounces dark rum (Gosling's Black Seal)
3 ounces ginger beer (Barritt's)

Glass Type: Collins glass

Instructions
Combine the rum, and ginger beer (not ginger ale!!!!) in a tall glass full of ice cubes. Stir. Lime is optional, just don't tell a Bermudian, he'll gag.

“We are offshore in the middle of nowhere, and on the chart, if you don’t go on the maximum zoom you can’t see anything.”

"It is far better to have absolutely no idea of where one is - and to know it - than to believe confidently that one is where one is not." - Jean-Dominique Cassini

Zoom.

Zoom, zoom.

Zoom, zoom, zoom!

I guess paper charts aren't so old fashioned after all.

Of course, this ribbing is all in good fun. I'm glad that everyone from Team Vestas Wind were rescued and unharmed. To quote Fredrik Lönegren, "Shit happens!"

Mishap Monday.

Barkeep, I like it straight up, not on the rocks!

Mind you, I think the navigator is looking for new opportunities. Maybe he should leave his stint with Team Vestas off his CV. I'm just saying.

Have A Happy Thanksgiving!

Why Would Larry Move The America's Cup To Bermuda?

His favorite cocktail is a Dark and Stormy.

He loves to be casual and formal at the same time.

He likes to hang out with people who have a few bucks in their pockets. He really seems to like those shorts. Plebians need not apply.

He's thinking of buying another island.

Jacqueline Bisset!

Judah Schiller builds bikes for the bay. Can you say windage? No doubt, for flat days only.

So we've heard about how fluids can have different viscosities and Newtonian fluids have constant viscosities, where as non-Newtonian fluids have viscosities that change depending on the shear rate or speed with which the object lives through them. Okay, that makes sense.......Go Fish!

Apparently in the future we are going to have micro robots swimming around inside of us with the mission to rid us of bad things. One application discussed is the repair of our eyes. The micro-scallops will gleefully swim in our eye fluid and zap any distortions that they find on the eyeball. Take that Cataract!

We have travelled a long way since scracthing fleas from our hairy bodies on those hot summer nights around the camp fire on the African veldt. Kumbaya!

Goodnight, San Francisco!

So long, Mr. Sun!

Red sky at night, sailor's delight.
