But, in this situation, although I didnt make it very clear in the description, it was a simple starboard over port - the boats ahead had gone around the mark I was approaching on starboard and were broad reaching on port.Keep Reachinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11251896778558452358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6748587149898746274.post-36902437551045988552012-05-21T08:22:15.221+04:002012-05-21T08:22:15.221+04:00When you write,

In your pursuit races, overtaking boats have the ROW?

I remembered that day also - and how I thought I was really screwing up because I was capsizing. <br /><br />It is all relative.Keep Reachinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11251896778558452358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6748587149898746274.post-56569007848274682532012-05-20T22:01:01.416+04:002012-05-20T22:01:01.416+04:00One thing that helped me come to peace with the fa...One thing that helped me come to peace with the fact that I was usually chasing "that guy" was when I discovered that I was "that guy" to someone else further back in the fleet.Tillermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639738519386820997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6748587149898746274.post-81878895177319885462012-05-20T21:53:55.833+04:002012-05-20T21:53:55.833+04:00Your insight is certainly correct.

Your inner peace is probably from realising that the only thing that matters is whatever you are looking at internally and whether some guy consistently stays one step ahead - or is always richer or whatever - is just irrelevant. That guy is just part of the landscape. It seems to me the trick is to learn from that other guy and not get bogged down by thinking about his being one step ahead. <br /><br />Anyhow, appreciate your thoughtful comment.Keep Reachinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11251896778558452358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6748587149898746274.post-36591276091316873032012-05-20T21:06:34.891+04:002012-05-20T21:06:34.891+04:00The reason that "that guy who usually beats y...The reason that "that guy who usually beats you" IS "that guy who usually beats you" is because he is ALWAYS thinking one step ahead of you and he ALWAYS WILL BE.<br /><br />It took me many years to discover this.
