Hey Everyone,
Good afternoon! I wanted to share with everyone the incredible amount of fun I had yesterday down at Sea Star Base Galveston with some friends! I've raced with them all, and they're all such talented sailors; thus, when you take the ten of us and stick us on Sonars for a day, you KNOW stuff is gonna go down. So, we came up with a new game that I doubt anyone has ever played before; it's called Boat Tag. Essentially, the rules are that each boat is given a volleyball/dodgeball/tennis ball before departing from the dock. Once you're underway and have completed three laps of the triangular course set up on the water, the goal is to throw the balls at the other boats without colliding! A hit with a larger ball is three points, while a hit with a smaller ball is one point. If you collide with another boat, you lose the game automatically, and you can no longer be appointed captain of the vessel. I must warn you, reader, that if you aren't an experienced sailor, DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME, or with random people on the water...one of my friends did and ran his Ranger 23 straight into a Beneteau 50 trying to play Boat Tag with them...was not pretty. I can't wait to try it on Sunfish! Who else has played this game?
