[QUOTE=CigDaze;3532218]Awesome shots!!! You go, guys.
There are those of us who write the future and then there are those who write history books; they are the same people who just simply don't know how to cope with the expiration of their relevance and they are sadly relegated to languishing in the dismal past. .... ... .. . that just about covers every man in every sport since time began . It,s a disease called aging, You will probably catch it as well I hope :evilb: |
BLee Thanks for the kind words and right back at ya. You still own my personal best for fastest ride ever in your capable hands.
I was thinking the other day during a different thread about people going out in rough water ect and all you racers can surely attest to this. Even though I love going out in big waves I always have the opportunity to dial it back, change course and just in general push it as far as I am comfortable with considering my skills and my boat Racers dont have that luxury. They go in the direction they need to go regardless of the conditions as fast as they can and that can make big waves far more dangerous than the same waves we weekend boaters run. It gives every one of them the title of big balls champs regardless whether they are running 60-70 in smaller boats or 150 in the big dogs. Hats off to the skills all of you possess to make that commitment now and in the past. As a side note, although I have never raced and never will I have met and watched a lot of racers and ask any of them that have ever raced on Lake Michigan, Huron and Erie and they probably have a story about the waves. Not a 133 feet mind you but fairly significant nontheless. NK |

After spending last night with the OFF participants last night, and in years past, getting to know the Odell Lewises, the Brownies, Bobby Saccente, Rich Lhrs etc. I can honestly say offshore racers of today and yesterday are all cut from the same cloth and I am a huge fan of them and the racers of today.

Rough water, rough guys
Remember in the movie, "The Perfect Storm", in the last couple of minutes of the movie, whe the Andrea Gale was climbing the vetrical face of the big wave? If you looked real close, on the back side of that wave, Odell Lewis and Mel Riggs were fishing in a 14' skiff............
