Thanks Alden, It was the one in seven year downwind start and with 20 knots
at the get go it and all through the night it was fun.  We entered the
straits a few hours ahead of California Girl which in itself would have made
the trip a great success.  They managed sneaking by us somehow during the
day I still cant figure out when they got past us, but no shame there Timm
and Victoria are amazing sailors as you know.  We made a very good tactical
decision not to go through race rocks in the dark and chase the boats ahead
of us instead rounding the outer buoy( I'd like to say we did it for
tactical reasons cuz we are so smart, but the truth is with the boat in
Transpac shape I didnt want to risk grounding on the rocks and damaging the
boat this close to leaving for LA), we were doing 8 knots through the water
on top of a 3 knot current push and when we jibed to a reach in 15 knots, we
just blew by all the boats that went through the passage that were then stu

ck in the toilet bowl outside Victoria Harbor.   We had to tack several
times in a non existant breeze to avoid two cruise ships that were leaving
as we were trying to get over the finish line that ended up costing us about
20 minutes, but we still managed to beat Velocity (J42) on corrected time by
less than a minute.   We hit the dock drank our champagne then at 3:00 AM
started the 15 hour trip home, kind of a bummer to miss the awards party,
but there are only 19 days left for us to get the  boat ready before heading
south.   

 Poor Gerry and Ryan how much would that suck to have a whale land on your
boat?! I still cant believe it, they were behind us by 1/4 mile when it
happened, So glad that no one was injured.

Steve i think a congrats is in order for you winning your division in the
Oregon Offshore this year. I heard it was a down wind run up to the straits.
Good thing you didnt get breached by a whale like Laorca did. They were
lucky it didnt land in the cockpit but up on the mast. Keep winning i am
putting my money on you for the TransPac. . Sorry i didnt do the Oregon
offshore this year out of town on buisness but plan on doing it next year.

*America Held Hostage*

By PAUL KRUGMAN

Six months ago President Obama faced a hostage situation. Republicans

threatened to block an extension of middle-class tax cuts unless Mr. Obama

gave in and extended tax cuts for the rich too. And the president

essentially folded, giving the G.O.P. everything it wanted.

Now, predictably, the hostage-takers are back: blackmail worked well last

December, so why not try it again? This time House Republicans say they will

refuse to raise the debt ceiling ? a step that could inflict major economic

damage ? unless Mr. Obama agrees to large spending cuts, even as they rule

out any tax increase whatsoever. And the question becomes what, if anything,

will get the president to say no.

The debt ceiling itself is a strange feature of U.S. law: since Congress

must vote to authorize spending and choose tax rates, why have a second vote

on whether to allow the borrowing that these spending and taxation policies

imply? In practice, however, legislators have historically been willing to

raise the debt ceiling as necessary, so this quirk in our system hasn?t

mattered very much ? until now.

What has changed? The answer is the radicalization of the Republican Party.

Normally, a party controlling neither the White House nor the Senate would

acknowledge that it isn?t in a position to impose its agenda on the nation.

But the modern G.O.P. doesn?t believe in following normal rules.

So what will happen if the ceiling isn?t raised? It has become fashionable

on the right to assert that it would be no big deal. On Saturday the

editorial page of The Wall Street Journal ridiculed those worried about the

consequences of hitting the ceiling as the "Armageddon lobby."

It?s hard to know whether the "what, us worry?" types believe what they?re

saying, or whether they?re just staking out a bargaining position. But in

any case, they?re almost surely wrong: seriously bad consequences will

follow if the debt ceiling isn?t raised.

For if we hit the debt ceiling, the government will be forced to stop

paying roughly a third of its bills, because that?s the share of spending

currently financed by borrowing. So will it stop sending out Social Security

checks? Will it stop paying doctors and hospitals that treat Medicare

patients? Will it stop paying the contractors supplying fuel and munitions

to our military? Or will it stop paying interest on the debt?

Don?t say "none of the above." As I?ve written before, the federal

government is basically an insurance company with an army, so I?ve just

described all the major components of federal spending. At least one, and

probably several, of these components will face payment stoppages if federal

borrowing is cut off.

And what would such payment stops do to the economy? Nothing good. Consumer

spending would probably crash, as nervous seniors started wondering how to

pay for rent and food. Businesses that depend on government purchases would

slash payrolls and cancel investments.

Furthermore, markets might well panic, especially if interest payments are

missed. And the consequences of undermining faith in U.S. debt might be

especially severe because that debt plays a crucial role in many financial

transactions.

So hitting the debt ceiling would be a very bad thing. Unfortunately, it

may be unavoidable.

Why? Because this is a hostage situation. If the president and his allies

operate on the principle that failure to raise the debt ceiling is an

unthinkable outcome, to be avoided at all cost, then they have ceded all

power to those willing to bring that outcome about. In effect, they will

have ripped up the Constitution and given control over America?s government

to a party that only controls one house of Congress, but claims to be

willing to bring down the economy unless it gets what it wants.

Now, there are good reasons to believe that the G.O.P. isn?t nearly as

willing to burn the house down as it claims. Business interests have made it

clear that they?re horrified at the prospect of hitting the debt ceiling.

Even the virulently anti-Obama U.S. Chamber of Commerce has urged Congress

to raise the ceiling "as expeditiously as possible." And a confrontation

over spending would only highlight the fact that Republicans won big last

year largely by promising to protect Medicare, then promptly voted to

dismantle the program.

But the president can?t call the extortionists? bluff unless he?s willing

to confront them, and accept the associated risks.

According to Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader, Mr. Obama has told

Democrats not to draw any "line in the sand" in debt negotiations. Well,

count me among those who find this strategy completely baffling. At some

point ? and sooner rather than later ? the president has to draw a line.

Otherwise, he might as well move out of the White House, and hand the keys

over to the Tea Party.
