- I think Ken's idea about the Goofy[1] would solve all these
problems. What Pierre was trying to say was that if the pager says
13+ at 3rd and 18+ at coyote, then you can sail your Goofy[1] out in
the channel. Personally, I've had at least a couple Goofy days at
3rd in the last two weeks. Even when you have the body weight, sail
size and maiden aunt's middle name you can't get any more accurate
than it was a goofy.
[1] A goofy is the standard 3rd ave rig. i.e. what you sail there
90% of the time. A mickey is one size down, a Donald one size up.
Minnie and Scrooge are the two sizes down/up respectively.

minute.
