Frank,

Thank you and all of the SBI gang for the warm welcome we received. Racing the big water off Miami's South Beach was a real challenge to say the least.

Hey, just getting out to the race course was nothing for the faint of heart. We had more than couple of those big rollers in the mouth of Government Cut break over the bow and clean the windshield. What a rush!

We where very pleased to hang in there for the third place finish. It's a good start for the new team

The boat Gremlins have been identified, but we're still looking for missing header bolts. Five found...five still hiding. When we get them all rounded up, we're gonna handcuff them together so they will stay at their post and quit going down to play in the bilge.

We're off to Biloxi on Thursday. Family commitment will keep us from making Orange Beach the following week, but we'll be Marathon and then on to St. Pete followed by Sarasota for the Fourth.

A special thanks goes to Matt & Julie.....Throttle Up was right there lending a helping hand all weekend. You guys really went above and beyond to make sure everything went right.....Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I tried to get a shot of you pointing at the sky, but each time you did, my digital camera had to think about it for 2 seconds!

Too Bad Freeze Frame wasnt filming the inlet as we came out. That would have made some good viewing

When you guys were going out, were the only 2 people out at the end of Southpoint , I couldn't believe it!
If I would have known, I would have brought the movie cam!
It was good seeing you Bruce, hope you're OK, the boat can be fixed.
See you in Marathon.:D

I wish I had turned the camera on going out the inlet, and Jeff was flying over the inlet when we went out, he flew over us out near all the big stuff

I had you to my right and D-V cats to my left and all I could tell my driver is to keep the boat straight. I kept seing you guys fly on a 42 Fountain and said to myself imagine us on our 28 Pantera, thank god Pepe builds a strong boat.

Amen to that....The first thing I did when we got back to the pits was to look for cracks in the hull, and stringers.

Didnt find any so, I'de say it was a good day
