My expectations whenever going over to Gulfport are that I am going to have a good time and good racing. This years did not let me down one bit.

Awsome food, good people and a great time.

17 F16 (would have been 19 if 2 of the local club boats did not have conflicts) The level of racing also is getting better and better. John was not the only one pushing it on the line. A bunch of individual overs and a couple of general recalls, meant there was not many people hanging back (at least on purpose - (I did manage to get caught and rubbed out at the committee boat in race 4)

Saturday the wind was from everywhere at every speed. Patience was the name of the game and it seamed every leg huge changes in mix would occur. Sunday foercast was good but as soon as we left the line it started dropping and continued right up the drift back to the beach after 2 races.

Looking out and seeing all the spins was a cool site, and we heard lots of comment from those gathered on the beach watching. Other than the no beer rule sailing off the beach there is great as it is dirrect to the course and an easy launch land.

Hope all the guys at this one had a good enough time to come back in November for the Global Challenge. Hope the guys who were not there can put it on their schedule. It will be well worth the trip - even for new Stealth guys in MT. Nov is nice in FL.
