So glad I made this trip and hope to attend next year !

Someone has to do it, so here it goes...With no affiliation to any indiviual contributor to the success of this event, I must admit, the old saying holds true, "many hands make lite work!" This is my home, you made it look good and I have to say that this event went off without a hitch and its truly appreciated to all who made this look so simple. Many people may not realize how much blood sweat and effort goes into making these events what they have become.....and look back to the first one, yeah it was just a race, now its grown into a full fledge event. Kudos guys, if you didnt know any better the average person may think that SIB was merely a parking lot full of boats for people to admire, then you race and off to the next town. Unknown to them is the logistics and planning that make this thousand piece puzzle take shape to an admirable picture. The orginization and attention to detail is the fertilizer to the growth of SIB....cant wait til next year!
To Smitty, Augie, Haggin, Mikey, Ron, Bruce, Allen, Val, Frank, Brad, Larry, Katy, the city of SIB & Miami Dade County, OPA, AMF/GEICO, Tampa Digital, Offshore Events, the TV & Film Crew, Freeze Frame & Sharkey Images the contributing sponsors who invested any resource into this event and lastly the countless fans who came out supporting and contributing to the growth of this wonderful sport "THANK YOU", it could not have happened with out you all. If I have forgotten to mention anyone deserving of recognition or accolade, it is without malice and simply unintentional and I bid you my sincere apologies!
Best of Luck to you all for the remainder of the 2010 season!
Stay safe & GOD BLESS!!!

Steve...
