Football vs. Sailing

Full Moon skipped the first Goosebump race, the skipper and crew favoring warm and dry playoff football on TV over a wet afternoon on the water. Given the Seahawk loss, perhaps we should have sailed! On the other hand, with the race committee switching over to Duck Dodge style scoring (top three boats only), there is less motivation to sail in stinky weather as Full Moon has little hope of placing in the top three in any given Goosebump race. Under the previous system, which scored all boats, Full Moon could still do well for the series, having placed second overall a couple of years ago. Not that winning is the only reason to race, of course!
