at the end of July we attended the race at St. Clair Michigan. It was great to see so many Skaters racing and winning.

Ryan Beckley deserves an award for never say die.
After enduring mechanical breakdown while towing from Florida to Michigan late Friday night, and finally making it to St Clair in time for some practice runs, he heard an unusual sound coming from one of his 2.5 merc outboards. after pulling a head he realized his engine had ingested a carbon fiber reed or two.
Here is the team swapping a powerhead Saturday evening as the sun goes down.

Not surprised, that would be Ryan...... Looks like you two had a great trip. Never been to Tahiti, how was it, value/cost vs. fun

Yea pulling a powerhead as every passerby comes up and asks the same questions as to What are you doing? and Why?
is thrilling in itself...
As for tahiti-bora bora, I normally would'nt think that dropping that amount of coin on a weeks vacation would be worth it but it was.
We knew going in, that not only airfare and hotel was pricey, but food and drink was alot higher priced than what we were used to. ($9.00 coronas, $200.00 dinners). But the place was amazing.
Staying over water bungelow at one of the earth's most beautiful places was definately worth it. I'd reccommend it. At least once in your life.

David, thanks for all your help and encouragement over the weekend. It was great to see you all again. We really look forward to hearing from you guys next time you are down this way.
