Capt. Dave Hicks called me on Thursday and asked if I would crew on his 46' Oyster "Inner Voice" on Saturday. I said "sure" since you don't have a opportunity to sail on an Oyster hardly ever in the Chesapeake Bay. His boat was beautiful and well taken care of. Quickly I noticed the weight of his vessel as it moved thru the 3' seas quite nicely. The other sailboats in the Ft. Pierce Yacht Club were much lighter and were bobbing around on the way to the first mark. However, as Dave explained, his boat didn't point quite a high as those lighter competitors did. I'm not sure how we finished, but Dave seemed someway happy that we did! I'm glad he gave me the opportunity to come aboard.
