Yea, it was a little sketchy out there. More annoying was the fact that every time the safety boats pushed you back, said "ok, you are good there" you had enough time to set anchor and relax before they came back around to push you back another 50 feet... only about 5 times in a row.

Same thing happened last year trying to watch and finally bailed just because of the PITA to either stay back or not get clipped by people wandering (stumbling) through a bunch of moored boats.

The more erratic the runs get the further they keep pushing ya back.

The 33' was nutty... there was some good wind at times and solid chop, even on the south side.

The red/white M35 (driven by Mr DCB himself) sprayed Bobbit and Pyburn and a few others down at the start. Supposedly there's some good video coming of the unsafe driving practices there. Stand by......



That PB thread I read ealier today was crazy!!

===================

Near Miss With The Dcb M35 Black/silver

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My wife and friends were anchored just north of catail cove about 50ft offshore when the poker run came through. The driver of the black and silver Dcb M35 swung wide and ran through the spectator boats behind the safety boat and barely missed us by 20 ft. This scared the living F***
out of all of us, if you ever seen a boat coming head on at you at 100 plus you will know this feeling.

TO THE DRIVER AND THROTTLE MAN-
IF I EVER RUN INTO YOU FACE TO FACE AND WE WILL, I OWE YOU SOMETHING. YOU PUT MY WIFE MY FRIENDS AND SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLES LIVES AT RISK RUNNING THROUGH SPECTATOR BOATS ALL FOR THE SAKE TRYING TO BE FIRST.

YOU TRULY ARE THE BIGGEST PILE OF S**T THERE IS!

That silver 38 Skater with the "1200hp":D Chiefs in it and no canopy was just downright WICKED FAST. They completed the poker run in under an hour. That boat has number Gino and its already dialing it.:evilb:
