Thankfully Stan and David came out of this okay. It could have been real ugly - real fast.

It was the turn at the left end of the course, in front of the crane. I was on the dock, just down from All Jacked up, but didnt catch them due to a boat in the way.

Very happy to see Stan and David come away ok from that. I spoke with Stan Saturday night and you would have never known he had just gone over in his cat just a few hours earlier.

Same to you Tim, Its always great to see you, as well as all the others that take the time, to take, and post pics!

I thought this was one of the best covered events of the year!
It was certainly a cool place, My G/f and I really enjoyed the weekend.
