Joe, it was nice talking to you before the race.
Congrats on completing the run, and in good time too.
Now you should be confident on running the boat to PW next time!
30ft, small blocks and alphas!
Well done!

It was awesome seeing you take off in the beginning! I was onboard Guy LaMotta's big 53' Magnum, which we used as the race pace-boat.

The offer was very hard to pass up, but I had to go home and spend some time with my wife and daughter.
If your in the states again anytime soon ring me up and we'll hang out.....that is if I don't make it to England first!
Great to meet you mate

Read Top Banana's post(s) in the sticky "hero's"
no sense rehashing what he is already posting.
Don't forget we did not do this first, maybe the first in twenty years, but most definitly NOT the first.
