Great run up and some awesome sailing. The fleet stayed pretty close all the way (we had nice view from the back) Great racing and lots of boats going fast...but Will still going faster.

Glad to be out on the #51 again. I have great memories of the boat but alway forget what a sweet ride she really is. We (mostly me) were a bit rusty on Freak's but more than compensated of my poor tactics with a liberal application of suntan location and beer. Only on the ditch run.

What next? When can we get 20 boats out before the nationals for some fleet racing. Lets rally the fleet for a big turn out at a couple events.
