Be great to see her back out on the water. Tell Paul Andy Bloom referred you. My mom and step dad both raced with Paul in the boat.

Ralph also was part of the Miami to New York team that Pepe Nunez broke in his Pantera about 31 years ago. That's Ralph on the bottom, left.

John

hers for double bonus points name all the faces in the picture its much like the 60s "if you remember than you realy wernt there" in the 80s these guys show me at a young age the true meaning of conspicous consumption, offshore racing wont ever be like it was BACK IN THE DAY and no help from mark (h20)
