Offshoreonly.com - Greetings from Reggieland, NC

Who wants to do play-by-play with me via cell phone so you guys can get the one up on the real-time action? Ron, your number is programmed into Tony's phone......

Boat Girl and DonA will be scoring the race from the upstairs balcony of REGGIE'S house. I am pea green with envy!

The Fountain factory is awesome - the second-best operation I've seen. It looks like they are doing a great job on the new 48. I was in corporate spy mode and took the liberty to give myself an uninvited tour in the empty building and check out the whole production line from the molds to the final rigging process. I had my camera, but I did not take any photos. Sorry guys, it's not my style. However I did speak to Wyatt about it for some time. They are really excited about the new boat, and they should be. It is about ten miles an hour faster than the 48/50 Sunseeker Superhawk. I shall reserve comment on performance vs the Sunseeker until I get a ride on the new model. My congrats to the boys, I mean gentlemen, at Fountain.

I have to go running and get ready for the race. I am wearing my American Flag bikini and shall be stationed on the beach where they are handing out the trophies at the finish line - front and center with my camera. I did not bring the cord that connects the digital to the lap top, so you will have to wait for pics until tomorrow night.

I saw Bill Taylor yesterday. The poker run went well, but they encountered some really rough seas in the Sound, 8-10 footers I was told by many of the participants. I was touring the area by boat with one of Reggies buddies yesterday, but we stayed in the river which was flat.

Best regards and safe racing,

Jennifer
