Thought for the Day

Douglas Adams, writing in 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy', maintained that the ultimate answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything, was 42.

Some of us who race sailboats are not entirely convinced by his argument and strongly believe that the real answer may actually be found in Rule 42 (Propulsion) of the Racing Rules of Sailing.

This literally made me laugh out loud as I sit below in my sailboat. :)

And if sailors do believe Douglas Adams' assertion, they name there sail boat "42" and solve that conundrum once and for all....
