my back says different 
I guess the big boys might agree but we couldn't hang with the big boys but we didn't get passed by the group behind once we hit the narrows it was a great ride
I am just glad 35 years ago Don and his crew were building things to last

Bob, another fantastic job. I was very impressed at the excellent organization with the groups/pace boats. Definately kept everything under control, and actually added more to the fun. Thanks again and looking forward to future runs.

I think quite a few people will have suggestions!
Lets kick it off with some simple ones...
1.Faster than average speed of 51mph(according to gps,on plane)
2.Not too sure of the logic of the packs boats going North and South at the same time and turning in front of each other...collision at 60+60=120?
3.Lose the good old boys/local yokle garbage (It seems they have their own set of rules for their buds...no life jackets, following pace boats, etc.)
4.How about the awards ceramony, I must have missed it?
5.Bob could lose the bug in his A$$ and learn to treat people with respect. I was witness to at least three situations that could have been handled more appropriatly(I would be glad to elaborate if needed).
I am sure there was a lot of planning, help, and volunteer work that went into this event by quite a few people. It is a shame that LGPBA have a rep./leader that portrays himself in such a manner as myself and many others witnessed.
Otherwise..Great food, great band, great weather, awesome group of fellow boaters!!!!

The route given to you was the route the was planned out by us and all police agencies involved and was thought out with more than just us involved. Other things were going on on the lake that we needed to avoid, besides you only averaged 51 mph and had great visibility on a wide lake, shouldnt have been a issue if you were behind a pace boat.
no local yokel deal on my end, we ran it like a business. Told everyone the way it was going to be and followed thru with what we said. I had one boat tell me about people not wearing life jackets but he couldnt tell me who's boat it was. I was a card stop and witnessed all having their jackets on except for 2 boats, and there had them in hand and were advised to put them back on before going back on plane. I did witness many boats following us around that we not involved in the run. I will review all video and pics from the helicopter and confirm,and deal with any offender
Awards ceremony ?? are you kidding me, We had a nice one that many gifts were given out, 5 real nice trophys were awarded $$$ was paid out to the winners. If you were in the crowd you couldnt have missed it. Thats all Im going to say on this, no debating ... no going back and forth explaining anymore. We are always up for ideas for improvement but that can be done face to face or by telephone
