thanks captain happy for raining on the parade.

Perhaps if one person decided to make an event out of it from your area, then it wouldn't be "only against 3 boats". I look at the list of F18 competitors and there are PLENTY travelling up from Florida to come to this "big party".

and btw, we'll probably start with the F18's.

As for wind, Trey's avatar was taken during SF last year. The mud is a non-issue now that the lake is full again. We didn't have a spot of it on our boat last year.
