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!

Several things....
You look COLD. I don't go ANYWHERE in the summer where I might *feel* as cold as you *look*. LOL
That said.
I LOVE that pic. You really look at home and like you are enjoying yourself. That sucks about the DNF. Damnit.
HappyHNT babe!
although cold, it looks like a blast!
HHNT!
Aw, bummer on the DNF! You should come race our Great Lakes - not quite so cold but very fun!! HHNT!
Looks like a great adventure, Happy HNT!
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!
Hummm...Sad to put so muich effort and not getting in it fully...
HHNT!
This picture is SO awesome!
Your all bundled up and lookin' a-dor-able!
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
That looks fun, honey! I wish I could go sailing..
Damn... sorry, that it didn't work out as you planned, but I agree with the others you look very much in your element.
Happy HNT!
Aww...sorry about the DNF. The picture is great though!
Happy Half Nekkid Thursday!
That sucks that he quit!
You oughta be the capt next time!
Very cool picture
BTW Little Ritas real name is Hannah so she can still be a meter maid if she wants! :P
Oops that was me up there....posing as Mr Ratburn!
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!!
don't forget to swab your poop-deck
If you get a chance...LIME (the most talented tie dye lady I know) sent me a couple of awesome creations...check them out on my HNT ;o)
Is that you underneath there?
It's a damn shame they decided to quit. Glad you made some new friends though. x
Ohhhh- thanks for that...It's SO hot here anything helps LOL ;)
I found you via your visit to my second-ever HNT. Thanks for coming by. :) (I can imagine being HN in YHZ would not always be a pleasant thing. ;-))
Ello Keyser. Thank you for visiting my blog. And btw, *The Usual Suspects* is one of my faves.

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.
