| 0:00.0 | This is Sam Holmes. I had some canned pineapple for breakfast. |
| 0:06.4 | On the Wind is presented by our good friends Forbes Yachts. Forbes Horton and his wife, Jamie, |
| 0:12.1 | have been friends of ours for a long time, and we got to catch up with them again last week |
| 0:15.9 | in Annapolis, where Forbes was representing X yachts at the sailboat show. We were there to present Forbes with his |
| 0:23.7 | new harbor burn cannon, a little side company that me and my friends started, and delightfully |
| 0:29.3 | we got to fire off the cannon off of one of the new ex-yots docked at the end of the boat show |

| 1:40.7 | We've decided to drop out of the OGR race. |
| 1:44.0 | That was a very personal decision that I |
| 1:46.1 | explained in a recent newsletter that I sent out yesterday. Long story short, comes down to the fact |

So we have decided, um, and it came pretty quickly, um, and I think I'm going to record a podcast with me on exactly the, the ins and outs of this decision.
