11 F18's nice!
We're comin for ya Karl! Assuming my new dagger boards get here in time. The Steeplechase is getting expensive.
Ricky at least try to make an effort to finish this series. When you get an attack of ADD and bail it's just not as satisfying and leaves me empty inside. Oh that puts the score at 2-1 in my favor Ricky!
Tad I'd call you out too but I'm sure you'll be nursing a hang nail or some other major ailment and won't be able to make this one. There's probably a Dungeon’s and Dragon's tournament that weekend too, right?
12 F18s and I know of more that will be registering <img src="<>/smile.gif" alt="smile" title="smile" height="15" width="15" />
I'll be your Huckleberry.
One of the best movies......
i'm in, on red n20
excellent. The General will be there as well.
red clearly beats orange though... so you're screwed <img src="<>/smile.gif" alt="smile" title="smile" height="15" width="15" />
But the rash...
I am going to be doing it Hollywood style. Fly in, have my crew pick me up at the airport, take me to a fully set up boat, drive, then fly out. HEEEELLL yeah. that's how I roll
Could it be the F18s will win the Carlton Tucker Memorial Trophy? Looking good!
15 F-18's now registered. Could we see 20+?????
speaking of F18, where's the tuning guide for the infusion?
tweak-sters wanna know... so we can blame it on the settings
Here you go wildman:

And this:

There will be a pop quiz at Tradewinds.
wow, tweaker has a whole different meaning in Florida apparently.
Up to 17 F18s! And Prentice still hasn't registered, so that's 18.
Ding where do you get 2-1? You got me NA's (like that counts!), Spring Fever, and last year's steeple. I got you at Tradewinds last year and that's all, who knows what would have turned out had I not succumbed to my ADD at this year's Steeple.
If you can't get your boards, I have another a spare if you need to borrow one.
I was just talking about the score for our FL match ups. I was attempting to spare you the public humiliation of hearing someone nearly twice your age say...
I'm undefeated against your punk a$$ outside FL mudda fugga!
WHERE'S MY DAMN HAT!
Prentice probably can't make this (still hopeful for a last minute availability). Hence his faithful crew (me) has taken over as Robie's crew for the regatta, see y'all down there!
Old guys rule
see, back in the day, the youth could claim
vigor
(for lack of a more
internet friendly
term) over the old dudes, but thanks to various medications, the old dudes got it all...money, wisdom, charm, experience, patience, and now
vigor
.
Not only that, but we score the early bird specials and AARP discounts, so things don't cost as much. No wonder the ladies flock to the old dudes...
50 is the new 25...
17 F18s... that's going to be a busy pre-start box. <img src="<>/smile.gif" alt="smile" title="smile" height="15" width="15" />
Are you sissies going to want your own start, or can Rick toss in the other spin fleets just to make it
fun
(if Seth is coming, bring some extra epoxy)... Or maybe the Wave fleet?
The F18's will have their own start. And it's 18 F18's the one at the bottom counts too.
Dave, just FYI, Im still keeping track of you...Im a lurker from way back. I'll be pulling for you, but from my couch this year bitch!
Anyone flying into Miami around 4-5pm on Thursday before Tradewinds and flying out Sunday evening? Split a rental car to get down to Islamorada and Back?
Let me know -

Seriously??? It takes AT LEAST 30 boats to be anything but a cakewalk. 60+ is most exciting.
Mike
It can be plenty exciting with just 10... provided all 10 know how to start <img src="<>/smile.gif" alt="smile" title="smile" height="15" width="15" />
So we are up to 21 boats! Chris Prentice, Anthony Boueilh are also supposedly coming... I'm hoping I can talk Jim Zelmer into coming, that'd be 24... I'm not sure if Eric Witte is sailing a viper or an F18 but he is definitely sailing... looking pretty good!!!!!

Matt, not sure if you want to wait, but I get in to Miami at 7:30 on Thursday.
Anyone else arriving around then and interested in sharing a ride?
Tripp
i get in at 605 into miami and leave on sunday at 7. I am renting a car and can take some people. at 12$ a day, can't imagine it will be a bus though!
Mike
Well, when Rick sets up his start line about 25' wide, it does get interesting <img src="<>/smile.gif" alt="smile" title="smile" height="15" width="15" />
Tripp - 7 might be a little late.... If you havent gotten a ride then call me on 704 408 5781 and maybe we are still getting the car, etc...
Prentice is not, Tony is. Chris's crew (me) is sailing with Robbie D.
I'm heading out tomorrow morning. I was hoping to get to at least Georgia before quitting for the night, but we're in the middle of getting rain/sleet/snow. I might not be able to take off too early.
drive safe. Give us a call when you get down here!
