No that was my twin brother, Grinchly. I made him put it back, but he stuck us with the pre holiday stress and won't get rid of it to this day.......

This race sounds great......... and is really catching on.....

Maybe.....this will finally unite people and get rid of all the classes and competing factions. Now if all the hangers on, moochers and parasites steer clear this could be a real winner.

One can only hope.....

I try....and I learned from the best.......

By the way....are you thinking of racing in this event?. This is really appealing in a lot of ways...and it might be a gas, to see how much gas, some of the really old gassers....still have

Pardon me...but I think I have gas.

For those who need some "gas" by the way of real information....I highly recommend the DVD's of the old days of offshore racing, that Big Seas has put together...especially the "Legend of Apache"

For those who don't know or don't remember, these films will show what open ocean racing was all about. See how the boats were trimmed and how fast they really ran in the open ocean.

Shameless plug...these OSO Sponsored DVD's, can be found at the online store at:
