Baseball Bar Hopping

Saturday evening Hoofer Sailing was offering a new Tech B lesson which went into Sloop Theory (a boat rigged with mainsail and headsail). We discussed the center of effort (CE) on a sail and the center of lateral resistance (CLR) on the center board and the theory behind the mechanics for better sailing. Afterwards Tristan had tested us out for our Tech Plus rating. Easy.

I went home to shower and had dinner with Dad, Diana, and Austin. Not long after, Charlie had called me about coming down to Madison. Apparently both him and Andre had made the trip and the key message was to "bring Starter jacket."

As soon as I made it into the Plaza Tavern a batting glove was shoved onto my hand. I guess this was a new thing--a Baseball Night. Everyone had drinks in hand and slapping high fives with the other. In the special case of James, both hands were occupied by drinks yet that slowed him little with high fives. When I came to high five Matt, I had then noticed that he was wearing no shirt and the only thing covering his top half were shoulder pads...funny. Along the line of high fiving we tried the group huddle and decided to eventually leave the bar.

Once outside David asks about the Starter jacket. Not the one to spoil the party I fetched it from the car. When the lot of us tried to enter Hawk's Bar they wouldn't let Matt in without a shirt. So on came the jacket over Matt's pads--it's just something you have to see. Shoo'ed away we headed to the City Bar where they not only let us in, many had taken to the Man with the Starter jacket.
