What a difference a week makes

What a difference a week makes

Last Thursday I put the mast up twice
Last Thursday some of the lines were not run right
Last Thursday I sky'd the halyard
Last Thursday the wind was light and flukey
Last Thursday we had a not so good start
Last Thursday we got in the wrong position
Last Thursday everyone stole our wind and we did nothing about it
Last Thursday we had to fight not to be DFL (dead fucking last)
Last Thursday I was washed up and going to hang up my cleats

This Thursday we battled for first.
It blew like stink on a stink bug
Fred had to hang on tight to not fall off and keep the boat under control
Denny worked his ass off and kept the sail full
Most of the lines were run properly
We got two new compasses and didn't use either of them

I wrote this down because I will remember this Thursday and forget all my Last Thursday's.  Sometimes a limited memory is a blessing and sometimes it not.
