Dear TEd: your description of "race" reminds me of the troop-ship I came home on. It had been bought from government before construction was complete, and rushed into service without having any ballaxt installed. The Captain himself got seasick on it, and said it had a motion like a French whore. In even a moderate sea the propellor would come halfway out of water and the whole ship would shake,shake shake until the bow came up again. The rigging was festooned with latex because there was a company of nurses aboard. We called the ship "The Honeymoon Express" because no copulatory movement was necessary. Forgive the ribaldry.

Forgiven -- but not forgotten. Unforgettable!
