ZERO Testing !!!for one. Myric won’t get back in dirty duck 438 at 215 ! Freedom has a death wish and that fact they don’t know how lucky they are is ridiculous!

Well...I wasn't going to say it, there is that, and it sure looked like some V hull trim thrown in to the mix but no expert here lol

Would like to add the shootout at DS has been called off (or postponed until a wind free run could be made) for a lot less wind the times I have been there.

Good news;

I spoke to Kirby today and he is on the road to recovery. Still very sore (broken ribs, sternum, and re-built hip that was shattered). There will be a ton of physical therapy and rebuilding but he seemed to be in good spirits and is very thankful for the girl and her crew that gave him CPR and pulled him from the water. If we can learn anything from this it is to wear a jacket in their honor.

Thanks for sharing. I cannot imagine what he is going through both physically and mentally.

Great to hear the good news Joe, I hope he makes a fast and full recovery. My life jackets rules changed after Stefan's accident when we lost Nancy (neither of them was wearing life jackets), and I hope others do as well after this tragic accident where 3 lives were taken too early and 1 life will be changed forever.

Thank you for that, Dale.

Lifelines save lives. Including, most likely, mine.
