Half Nekkid in Halifax


This is about as half naked as you could GET on the ocean between Marblehead Mass. and Halifax Nova Scotia. It was COLD!!!! Also rainy, foggy, windy, wavy, rain, hail, thunder, lighting, calm and just about all the nasty weather things you could think of. What a freakin trip! Worst of all the skipper decided after 300 miles to GIVE UP! He turned on the motor! Talk about dumb surrender! So we scored DNF. Did Not Finish. The lesson here kids is never give up. If we had held on through that last calm not only would we have had a legal finish we probably would have won. Meh. Be careful who you race with. HHNT!

my very first 5k ever, I almost "earned" a DNC (did not complete) because Fin had just been born and I was walking instead of running and I didn't want to be last. But last was better than giving up...so I'm with ya on that...
the offer always stands for you!!!
HHNT!

Seeing that pic reminds me why I gave up sailing around UK - too damn cold. Sorry to hear that your skip cocked it up. Better luck next time. HHNT

Whether you won or lost...the smile you have on your face is absolutely priceless to say the least!

There is nothing better than being out on the water. Although the rough seas probably would of had me freaking out a bit, I am sure I would have learned to deal with it.

Love the picture KS!!!

HHNT to ya!!

bum! boo sucks to the skipper for giving up.

It is a fab pic - you look in your element. Am used to the cold and rain here - it goes hand in hand with any watersport!

Happy Belated HNT.
It looks fun, but cold.

I was the skipper and FYI it was a team decision. yes, it sucked that we withdrew but it was 6 in favor of withdrawing, one opposed. I didn't "cock" it up alone.
