Broke in Y-o to offshore racing today :D It was raining when we got to the ramp. And George we only his 72 mph on the Parkway,you win. It was low tide but we are Typhoon and said lets go any way. Jim has never been in the boat and we just filled it with gas and were stoked to go. Backed down the ramp only to have 2 red necks yelling we are taking to much time and get out of the way. Fired it up,sucked up mud,went to the bar,end of testing.You got to love this $hit.

That reminds me of my favorite saying!

It is not the critic that counts.
It is not the man who points out where the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better.

It is the man who is actually in the arena...
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs, who falls short again and again, who spends himself at a worthy cause....

It is the man, who in the end, at best, knows the triumph of high achievement, but who - if failing - does greatly, so that his place shall never be among those timid souls that knows neither Victory or Defeat.
