Don't forget the smell of the race fuel. Sensory overload for sure.

Oh boy, I forgot about that!!

The decent human beings that stopped, helped, rendered assistance and those decent human beings that stopped and stood by to render assistance to those persons and vessels in distress.


Participants who passed by and through and continued at speed should have been immediately DSQ'd.

No, that wasn't me. I was in the Black and Red Panther. We were running together somewhere between the bridges and then almost to the first check point. At that point I was just just cruising at about 50-55.

The accident was way behind the first wave.

They had three cockpited OL's that looked right out of Star Wars!!!

No Extreme Exhibit.

A Nortech 43 cat was there, brand new I think Randy Sweers was driving it and being diligent with a boat he will sell.

Ozzie had his Nortech Cat also impressive machine.

So who was the first Vee bottom to the bridge?

Gotcha. I DO remember turning to Paul and saying check out that bad ass black boat running through the washing machine water so well. We were both VERY IMPRESSED (as if that is supposed to mean anything) as to how well your boat handled the water. It was sure nice riding in a BIG boat for change from my little 24 Skater. Hope to hook up with you later this summer Panther.

GLH-- Thanks for the feedback on Extreme Exhibit!

I was the King of the Hudson, I left earley and beat everyone to the bridge.........
