You mean all these years I've been swimming under the bloated looking
guys I was doing it wrong. Crap!

No. Crap floats.

Just curious... Ever seen anyone ski behind a sailboat?

Yes.

Interesting... Standard mono-hull or multi-hull / catamaran? Other than a
couple of the multi-hull designs, I didn't think that they went fast enough
for it...

Monohull. IACC boat.

No really an efficient way to ski, but a certain nameless AC team tried
it just to see if it could be done (nameless to protect the guilty. I'm
not sure the syndicate head would appreciate learning that one of his
boats was being played with this way . When an 80' boat can do 20+
kts, it can be done (of course, all the teams have several RIBs with
dual 150 outboards, which are much more fun to ski behind. Still, it's
possible to ski behind a sailboat).

Like I said before, I ain't diving on this trip. The urine experiment is
completely optional, however.

But if you want a beer(s) on my tab, how's about meeting me at the Sheraton
New Orleans tomorrow night? I fly in around 2 p.m. and don't have anything
planned yet until dinner at 8:30 p.m. at the Palace Cafe. If you'd like to
join us for dinner, please let me know so I can extend the reservation. If
you just want to have a few drinks, you know where I'll be so give me a call
or e-mail me. I'll check my e-mail as soon as I check in and I'll send you
my cell number in a separate e-mail tonight. I hate to sound so rigid, but
as this is my first trip to the "Big Easy" and I only have a few days to
explore, I've already made some plans that I'm unwilling to vary even for
the chance of meeting the great Grumman himself. If you've got Friday night
free, great. Otherwise, I'll be back in New Orleans on Sunday but I planned
that day for touring around and having a romantic birthday dinner at Bacco.
Not that you're unromantic or anything, but I was hoping to keep that night
sacred.

Thank heaven's. So as far as I know at this time, you didn't leave him in
the swamp somewhere.

And here I was worried, that she might not be as good a body guard as I am.

Great beer... Surprising that Louisiana actually makes a beer that is
drinkable (Abita TurboDog), isn't it?

Irregardless of what Reefy happens to say, it is my experience that you do
*not* welch on your bets... It was a fun time with you and your wife on
Friday night...

If the weather is doesn't go to crap, give me a shout when you're back in
town and I'll show you the swamp like I previously mentioned...

Well, we did visit the French Quarter 'wetlands', but I
escorted them back to their hotel, safe and sound... Wouldn't
want them to get lost down there and end up in the wrong
neighborhood... Ya' know what I mean... One of those
neighborhoods where people are sober, beads are not being
traded for glimpses of flesh, and worst of all, IT WAS QUIET...

Nearly lost her a couple of times... It's rather easy to do
among that many people (even though it was nowhere near as
crowded as during Carnival)... She seemed rather curious from
an anthropological perspective of the culture of trading beads
for glimpses of flesh...
