| 17 F18s... that's going to be a busy pre-start box.  Seriously??? It takes AT LEAST 30 boats to be anything but a cakewalk. 60+ is most exciting. Mike | | | Re: Tradewinds, it's F!@#ing on B!tches!

Michigan | Anyone flying into Miami around 4-5pm on Thursday before Tradewinds and flying out Sunday evening? Split a rental car to get down to Islamorada and Back?
Let me know -

Mike Well, when Rick sets up his start line about 25' wide, it does get interesting

Northfield Mn | I'm heading out tomorrow morning. I was hoping to get to at least Georgia before quitting for the night, but we're in the middle of getting rain/sleet/snow. I might not be able to take off too early.
I'm boatless.

Northfield Mn | Good god. I'm getting 10mpg with the triple stack. I gotta fill every 300 miles, at $100 a pop I'm gonna probably burn up $1300 in fuel. Yikes!

Northfield Mn | That sucks. I've got a 34 gallon tank, but normally get 15-17 with one boat.

On the Water | Matt, not sure if you want to wait, but I get in to Miami at 7:30 on Thursday.
Anyone else arriving around then and interested in sharing a ride?
Tripp My crew's flight gets in at 7:45. Maybe ya'll can hook up. Oh, and please tell him I'll have the boat rigged and polished, and the beer iced down for him . . .

Tad I'd call you out too but I'm sure you'll be nursing a hang nail or some other major ailment and won't be able to make this one. There's probably a Dungeon’s and Dragon's tournament that weekend too, right?
I believe Tad said he "retired from competitive sailing" so if you want to race him you can't be competitive. Just don't bet him anything( maybe that's what's too competitive)...he has a problem paying up.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
