Sunday Afternoon on the Water

Today was, in my opinion, the way an October Sunday should be. None of that raking leaves crap. None of that sittin' on your ass, stuffin' potato chips in your mouth watching football crap. Nope, just several hours powered up on a 4.5 and JP 77, blasting around Kanaha. It was sunny. It was warm. It was windy. It was fun.

And to top it off, how many sports are there where you can be sailing along side by side with a couple of great professional athtletes! I went out for my third session of the day and Josh Stone and Nick Warmuth were out hucking contorted moves all over. Let's see. If you're into professional football, basketball or baseball can you go play on the same court or field as today's hot pros (I can't even think of any current hot pros in football, basketball or baseball. ... shows you how little I really care about that)? I think not. And to top it off. These guys are hella-nice guys. In fact all the pros I've run into here are very cool, very down to earth.

Anyway, the show inspired me to work on something new, so I decided to work on my pathetic excuse for duck jibes. I can make them with some regularity on the inside now. They're just ugly. After one particularly ugly duck jibe I said to myself, "Wow, that had to be the ugliest duck jibe ever." Then it occured to me. It's not an ugly duck jibe. It's a Swan Jibe!!!! (For those of you who don't get it, go brush up on your Hans Christian Anderson stories). Indeed! I'm the swan jibe master!!!!
