I was quite happy to serve as ballast, or at least a counterbalance for Bruce and Steve on Pandemonium yesterday evening. Apparently, the extra mass added by my presence on the boat, placed on the starboard and port sides at appropriate times, contributed to our win in the sailing race (the Beer Can Cup, or whatever it was called). I pulled on a few sheets (ropes) now and then, but mostly just stayed out of the way, took a few pictures, and enjoyed the ride. This is a photo of Bruce shouting a command in ship lingo, which, for the most part, I did not understand.
