Let's just pick up from here

Since the west coast *usually* is much warmer than the east coast of Canada it's quite possible to sail here the entire winter though. With that attitude, ignoring the fact that the current climate seems to have tried to show us that all this rotational invariance business is bollox, I met up with my firend Ian and went out sailing today. We were on duty with the race committee, meaning we had to set the course and record the results of the races. This I thought would make a great excuse to have some beers and watch people sailing about, however we also double as the rescue boat crew. After some deliberation we came to the conclusion that some people would have issues with a couple of drunks operating the only rescue boat at our disposal.

Talking about beer: Like some breweries the Vancouver island brewery makes a seasonal beer. It's called the Herminator, and supposedly one of the best beers in the world. Well with that kind of claim I had to try out this ice bock. Prepared for disappointment (after all they say that the fake Budweiser they sell here is the king of beers) I was very pleasantly surprised. Especially since I felt quite drunk after having a few, at which point I realized that it had a friendly 9.5% alcohol volume. Tasty and good for getting drunk! I am so bringing a case to the lan party next weekend.
