Dude!

I have done some pretty "hard core" catamaran stuff in my days, but I tip my hat to you on this.

wolf, most of our challenges are associated with keeping beer cold, be we solved it this year...put the beer in the ice bags with the ice then into the soft cooler. this wasn't a problem for vkm... i believe they used a higher octane fuel than us...
