I flew a hull on me H16 today while wearing my 2013 Juanna's good time regatta tee shirt and poured some beer into the water as a good karma gesture. Sold two re-vamped sail club old hobie 16's to new guys and it looks like we need more! I promise to drag a Memphis gang to upcoming regattas….. Anyone in for the Hospitality Regatta in Jackson MS??? Oct 18th and 19th... Was amazing last year, 25mph winds, a great reggae/jazz band and off the charts food!
I miss not seeing you guys this regatta…… feels like a chunk of my spirit is empty 🙁

Yo. Yes, I do. My son is in college and has a big test today (Monday). We participated in the distance race Saturday and headed back on Sunday. We had a blast and next year, will plan to be around for the entire weekend.

That is AWESOME.
I would love to sail this regatta.
3700 miles round trip, most of it through Texas, is just a bit too far.
Maybe if I plan a family vacation to Schlitterbahn, and once we're there mention the regatta...

@Bob - Hit Schlitterbahn, sail Canyon Lake (just down the road), then hit Texas City Dike on your way east. TCD juts 5 miles out into Galveston Bay and knocks down ALL of the waves. You get smooth water w/ buttery smooth wind from the prevailing south wind which makes for a GREAT sail. Then you can hit the MS guys on the way over to the P'Cola/Destin area.

For some reason, I can't edit my post above, but I wanted to clarify that it's not my video. According to the link on Juana's FB page, it was done by Mark Tepe of Team Tepe Racing fame. Awesome job, Mark!!
My nephew Mark Tepe shot and edited that video, he is awesome! Had a great time this year, can't wait till next year! Miss you guys already!
