Dear Mike,
I am merely raising a question that has played on my mind for several weeks since I first heard about CN, Scarab would have had a cleaner bottom. I really do not know who would have won, but then again you never knew with AR what comes next. So in my inner most self I see Dick beating the S&A's and being a sailing hero for once. Plus it gives Ed and I something more to discuss.
We shalll never know so I can leave my dream just that a nice dream. But I play the race over in my mind many times, of course the fact that I have not won many races and I am scientist of sorts probably skews my view, (at the 5 per cent confidence limit I would say yes I want them to win.)
Of course with the Coots in the north if they raced with D's then it is a lay down misere. ( Just joking)
Smiling at the thought of the race.
Re AR and Bolsheviks, I thought Lenin had lived in the west for a while, so would he have not been well acquainted with Western Politics.
And if asked his politics in Russia, would he have not said ice fishing.
