Also I've noticed how the RWO social media is. They don't reply to questions or comments. They barely have any information about the teams or races. OPA and P1 posted tons of stories, videos, and photos to their social media. The coverage from OPA/P1 has been great. I barely see anything from RWO.

The only thing I wish OPA would do is update their website with a new listing of the teams. They still show the 2018 boats. Is SBI completely dead now? I haven't heard a thing about them in months.

I'm so glad OPA is doing great this year. Their Michigan City, Indiana race was awesome. The most Michigan City has ever had with SBI was a 25 boat count. This year they had 54 boats! Hopefully OPA continues to get better.

And as always someone with a dumb comment,

Why would you advertise a cigarette product with impressionable children attending this function, tasteless! I’m not going to support this .

Dammit. They better not f-up my favorite race of the year. If they can’t get there stuff together they should pull from key west. Or hopefully the agreement with the city has some sort of performance clause they can exercise.

Don't worry, in December the lawyers will start getting it straightened out.

A four boat parade !
Each spring there is a Asparagus Festival in Empire, Mi near the end of May. It's a fun event to celebrate the harvest, grilled asparagus and beer are the key offerings The parade is small composed of the little league team, fire truck, ambulance and Kazoo marching band etc. They go around the block twice to extend the parade.

Rain and thunderstorms all morning so didn't pull the boat and tow to Lake Erie. Anyone at the race? If so how many boats? Nice now, maybe I screwed up.

It looks like only 7 boats raced. I was surprised to see Cleveland Construction Racing again. Too bad they didn't have any competition..
