It is great when people use SA to present things like the following. There are huge amounts of ball-busting and goofing in this sport, but hardly any of it gets reported. It does here. Enjoy.

Here is a photo of a boat that I sail on here in Detroit. 2 days ago, a local America's Cup sailor, who shall remain nameless (he quit his Cup team when a certain Kiwi was put back in rotation), had some sod stripped from his yard. Instead of disposing of it properly, said sailor decided to have a laugh at the expense of our local chandler, who owns this boat.

The attention to detail and professional finish on this "yard" is excellent. If this rockstar does not get a ride for the next Cup go around in Europe, he obviously has a bright future on the working end of a Lawn Boy.
