 I lost a bet. Some friends asked if there are adjectives that end with a vowel other that 'e'. I said, "There must be, I bet." Someone looked into this website and found none! Are there?

 annierose, I don't know if you still need to know, but dramatic is an adjective like in "The dramatic play was..." Dramatic would describe play.

The 2nd Sunday sail will be to A mark.  We will leave via the South gate.  I'm leaving it to every skipper to plot his own course to the mark.  This will give us some exercise in reading a chart.  We will heave-too at the mark, so we can sail back in as a fleet.  Also Roy, is looking for two crew positions on any vessel that has space.
