1. Andy has an evil twin. Who knew? Several boats encountered a bearded gentleman who bore a striking resemblance to our own Andy, dancing atop his vessel near Blakely Rock. Some were even brave enough to give him motor oil and a tow to shore. Of course Chris and Bob have always been known as the daring sort. One major difference between Andy and his twin, however, is that Andy’s twin was not wearing a large butterfly belt buckle. In fact, he was wearing almost nothing.

2. Debbie makes a mean spinach pesto.

3. Tang can be really good.

4. What the Coast Guard doesn’t know about their cadets won’t hurt them. Including their ability to make tang really good.

5. Norm is full of ... interesting... fireside songs and stories.

6. When a boat more than twice your size Farbugles you, luff them up, no matter how small you are.

7. Bruce did not get Farbugled. He vigorously defended his wind. He will declare this vehemently to anyone who will listen. As often as possible.

8. When Farbugling Bruce, it is proper etiquette to blast a toy bugle at him. Or at least it’s pretty funny.

9. When outside the locks waiting for hours and hours for the Seafair traffic to clear, never taunt someone who is aiming a water weapon at you by telling them it’s really hot and you want to get wet anyway. Especially if the person aiming the weapon is about to go off and become a lawyer. Always have your evil twin take your place, so they get wet instead.

10. It is far better to watch Commodores of Vice and former Commodores get each other wet, than to get wet oneself. What I want to know is how Randy always manages to avoid retribution coming down on him, when he usually starts these things.

Thanks especially to the skippers, the whaler drivers, and especially Debbie, for doing a great job and making summer SnC a success.
