Looks like you got it moving pretty fast there? Aren't those ripples going the wrong way though?

Dan, looks Great! I do not remember seeing this when you won the MEGA, but then I was too far back to see.

He could be trying out for an actor part in a new movie.

Looks like an illegal kinetic movement.

Or perhaps trying to get across the line just in front of a competitor - like the sprinters do by ducking their head right at the finish line.

Very observant Matt. Actually the boat is sitting on the bottom in 6" of water.

I was about to say that there was an aweful lot of bouyancy in those 17 bows with you on the front 😛

Not to say anything about your impressive physique or anything 😛

Dan, should have know you were on the bottom. When I stand on the forward area of the hull, common light wind position on a H-17, the bow is nearly under. But then, I have at least 40 lbs. on you.

Bevis Lake (search), a 5.7-acre body of water in a forested area about 25 miles northeast of Seattle, is now appearing in Bureau records with a different name: Butthead Lake. "That means someone is playing a joke, I think," said Ken Brown, a land surveyor with the state Department of Natural Resources.

How does this relate to this serious sailing discussion? However, to clear this up, the naming of this lake is clearly a politically motivated effort to honor our current Republican leadership. See the attached photo.
