Just a Few Tacos Shy…

by Douglas Gould on June 17, 2008

…of a full combo platter. Thats an old saying to suggest that someone isn’t playing with a full deck, or in this case, a few gallons shy of a full ocean crossing.

It seems our mariner here left Bermuda on Saturday, and headed up to New England, in part to set a record, and in part for some kind of charity.
Well, I’m trying to be as generous as I can, but I gotta wonder about the sanity of such a voyage. He told me the reason he was getting low on gas was the 40 kts of wind and 20′ seas he encounted the night before; weather that wasn’t predicted, I guess. I delivered 5 gallons of gas to him about 15 miles south of his destination of Newport, RI.
To bad he didn’t have a membership…
