38. Rocket Roy Riddell is
back at the helm of Cripple Creek
Ferry, making a come-back after 30 years of cruising Georgian Bay in big boats.
After a slow start, he is getting the feel of things again and begins
to pass Hot-Ruddered Bum
to windward on the first reach. The latter luffs but seconds later, CCF's helm calls "Mast Abeam"
because he is abeam of HRB's
mast. The latter refuses to stop luffing and the Rocket says he would
protest if it didn't cut into his beer time so seriously. Would he have
won such a protest?
