Canceled Again [America's Cup]

[Paul J]

Well Buck this type of new plan may not work on Alinghi but it is starting to work on me. I don't think that was part of the boredom plan was it?

Here is what they are saying today in the NZ Herald;

"Racing cancelled because of high winds on Hauraki Gulf [Really your kidding me, canceled again, who would have thunk]

25.02.2003

8.00am

Racing in the fourth race of the America's Cup has been cancelled. [yeah we already know]

Principal race officer Harold Bennett said with 40 knots predicted to hit the race course in the Hauraki Gulf today, sending the boats out to race was not an option. [Who is this guy anyways? I want to know.]

"Obviously out of the east that is going to be building up quite dramatically so it is going to be pretty rough." He said the shallow waters of the Hauraki Gulf would make it very uncomfortable for anyone. He said they would reconsider the forecast later in the day to see if there was any chance the predicted high winds would allow racing later in the week. [Oh this is just to cool]

It is the fifth time race four has been postponed, either because of light winds or too much wind. [Really I had lost count, thanks]

The next scheduled race day is Thursday but Mr Bennett said later today they would consider racing tomorrow. "But tomorrow looks like it's out too," he said. [Well Thank You Sherlock Holmes! I don't know what we would do, with out you.]

Thursday and Friday are possibilities. [in whose NIGHTMARE Mr Bennett]"

Just step out the back Jack, Make a new plan Stan, Don't need to be coy Roy. [Excerpted from "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover".]

You just gotta really love this stuff, cause if you don't, it could drive you completely Bonkers
