it was transferred via the forceful collision of solid objects.
I'm just happy that there are people out there with boats colored other than white. Never seen green-fleck on a boat, but that's gotta look cool
I couldn't tell you what it looks like on a boat...
but I can tell you that Jake's green-flecked painted truck tailgate looks mighty nice. <img src=

So what's the scoop on the racing?
What racing? The steak eating was a success.
We got off one race on Saturday and two on Sunday. Both were basically drifters.
As David Lennard put it, we were facing serious dehydration issues from the high frequency of spitting in the water to determine the rate (and if) we were moving forward. We got in three races.
As far as the A's go, Harper once again exerted his dominance and superior tiller technique by taking me in all three. Mosley got me in one. Palmer was apparently over early (served) Friday night at the homemade barstool with an aquarium bolted to it and a disposal at the bottom whirling up some pretty crazy rum concoction and missed the first race on Saturday due to a case of brown bottle flu. I asked Harper if it was my turn at the next regatta but apparently I still owe him 5 more races. <img src=

Nigel took the F18's followed by Lennard and Tad won the 20's!
Green fleck scrapes must be fast.
I really missed getting to hang out with everyone, but I can definitely do without light air Lake sailing.
I stopped by the wave NA's in Duck NC Sunday and they were having a driftfest also. The lightest air I've seen here in months.
Maybe I'll get to catch up with some o' y'all before Spring Fever.Hope so.Like Steeplechase maybe,hint,hint,hint...

2-David L
3-Oley
4-Loyd and I (missed Oley by 1 pt)
5-Brett R
David Devon won the H16 class followed by Thomas
I just registered today.
Alan pretty much put on a clinic in how to drift an TheMightyHobie18 and pick the right spots to consolidate vs. head off on a wind streak. Took the Open class pretty convincingly.
Congrats!
That's my black lotus jacket. Bill Croughwell borrowed it, and it must not have made it back to me. It's actually my girlfriend's, so we'd better not mention that to her...
Can you hold onto it for me, and we'll link up soon?
So we really got 3rd!? Cool....We hit the road early for the drive home. It was great meeting some new people this weekend. (Hope the guys from Wilmington will give lake sailing another try and come to Spring Fever.) Was a good weekend even if the didn't coperate. See most of you all next season. Anyone on this side of Keowee aught to try and make it to Cat Capers.
Can you hold onto it for me, and we'll link up soon?
Sure. We may be going to Keowee in a few weeks. Will you be there?
We should have a pretty good Catamaran fleet at the KSC Turkey Shoot...I'll try to post some information soon.
thanks to the beer pong Saturday night I was fairly content laying sprawled out on the boat most of Sunday
I was just informed that this regatta will donate $7500 to the Leukemia society, mostly from the genorosity of the Outback Steakhouse here in Columbia.
Thanks to all who attended, I know I had a good time, my bandmates had a good time, and Im sure glad we were playing music instead of beer pong!
Dave, thanks for providing the sountrack to our games.
