Would love to do this race again, and I'm tentatively planning to be in FL the following week. I'll bring rum.
Tripp
The Karl's have just been kicked off Beth's boat, tough break boys.
do tell. Is this a facebook update or a tweet? (not that it matters, as I have neither)
It's an new form of communication....a Ding Dong.
amateurs.
Anyone have an extra paddle they could loan us? The container isn't going to make it back from st barths in time again so I'm stuck using a borrowed boat again. I'd prefer not to buy a paddle
You've got big hands
I've got you covered (again). You would think, as often as you find yourself up **** creek, you would own a second paddle.
Or a second boat.
so how's the race going?
Ask again next week!
I picked up some new gloves for this. They'll either shred my hands, or they'll be awesome. Used em' to deliver a bunch of cabinets the other day, even if they suck for sailing, they are grippy as hell and will work well there.
If you're not going to participate, at the very least, you could pay attention.
oops. thought it was always the second weekend in December
Karl, just thinking out loud there huh? Seems like you had nothing better to input into this conversation than buying a new pair of gloves? You could have at least included a photo!
Jake, thanks for bailing me out (again)! I am going to try to buy a paddle on Friday, we'll see how that works out but I appreciate you letting me borrow one. We'll try not to paddle by you in the last mangrove.

see...it's that stuff right there....Frank the tank is a paddling machine - it was that extra foot and a half of mast and the one personal puff you had that got you around me in that creek.
It's cold, I only have work, screwin', booze, and sleep to occupy my time. (in order of importance)
As I remember it, we had the spin up, you didn't. Brendon was paddling, I was holding the sheet, Frank was hardly paddling.
That's the punk we all know and love, well love might be a bit over the top...
That's the punk we all know and love put up with.
The F18 trophy is almost done. It looks pretty cool. You B!tches are gonna have to work hard to take it from me!
Thanks for the effort Karl!! Sounds sweet. But I'm not sure how well Beth is going to drive looking at Tripp all day.
Gettin' on a plane bitches!
Good Luck to all at the Steeplechase. I wish I could be there. I'm not missing it next year. Still the best distance race anywhere.
Everyone made it off the beach and paddling through Jewfish Creek. Ricky got too close to the side and got tangled in the mangroves. Looks like they are lining up for the start. Going to be a great day with winds forecasted in the mid-teens out if the ENE. Ding you should be here!
Hard to see the starting line - they're getting rained on.
JC and Bret first to the bridge. Followed by Steve and Kenny on the second Marstrom.
Third boat is the Falcon18 with Matt and Alex!
Followed by Jake and Frank and the Karls
Correction - Mike K and Laura followed by the Karls
Steve and Kenny turning around. Off to find out what the problem is and if we can get them fixed.
