New Orleans Thursday update
 

The wind is dying down. 1-2' chop.
First race at 11, second at 1.
55 boats regestered.
I'll try to give the play by play. I'm not there but friends with cell phones are.

DJD? Did you delete the other thread? I couldn't link back to it?:confused:

Just Browsing, sorry to have come off a bit strong. It seemed at the time I red your post that a bash fest was about to start.
SBI RARELY postpones races so my bet is that the USCG had something to do with it.
My hat iff off to you and I give an "A+" for your efforts of going back & forth.
Have a great, safe race & you better post a picture of the checkered flag!
Dave F2-07 Wild Child (retired.........for now)

Sharkey, yes I did.
Re post the pics you guys had up!

Ok....

Did you sell that Cig???:confused:

1/2 hr delay

No Sharkey, I decided to have fun with it in FL for the winter.

It is now 12:22 and the Orange smoke is going. Three minutes till start of race 1.

Can someone post # boats / class.

DJD, I'll fly with you anytime anywhere. In a boat or an airplane. When does the Cigarette head to FLA?

So who is in the lead?????

Typhoon won Factory-1. Only other boat was Gecko. They supposedley won by quite a bit. All the other boats were P-class.
Conditions are pretty flat(1-2).

YEEE HAAAAAWWW!!!!

Second race is just about to start (very late).
