Mike, i don't think anyone is trying to call you out on your driving skills. I think they are just stressing that this is a "fun run" and not a race. Most guys doing this thing will be there for an enjoyable boat ride and then a fun night at the bar with other velocity owners. Safety is the most important thing on that trip.

Like Lance, Bill and Dwayne said, Velocity Fest is not about being first to a stop or beating up your equipment in the rough water. We like to run as a group at a pace that is comfortable for smaller boats AND the passengers which often includes wives (like mine) and girlfriends that don't enjoy getting bruised. We'll slow down and regroup if someone falls behind so they didn't get lost in unfamilar waters. It's a long 2 day cruise and you really need to preserve your equipment as it's a long way back on one engine or under tow. Safety is absolutely paramount so everyone needs to act mature and keep the egos in check. There are plenty of other Poker Runs and indeed races out there if running hard and being first is what you really want. The Velocity Fest cruise has a different purpose which is mostly social, meeting fellow owners and getting together after the boats are tied up for the night.

Very well said Revelocity!

Lots of space up there in the beak, full sized danforth style stainless steel anchor that is polished up to a mirror finish, with a 150' of line and 6' of polished stainless chain, standard equiptment with this manufacturer, nothing but the best. Gotta love it. :D

Gotta tell you though, I do need some help with the "your brain right dont to". :confused:

I'm thinking that Sick Stinger, aka Loose Cannon, will be looking for a piece of that Outerlimits.
