... and a Water Spout (that's T-O-R-N-A-D-O folks), a stones throw from the yacht club lawn!


What about that Tornado in the parking lot?

It was great meeting you Paul and THX a bunch for helping us with the mast raising. Sorry we couldn't get you some better weather for the Saturday. It was a hoot having you there in the 1st race. I kinda lost track of you after the first leg...were kinda busy with our own kite and dodging all the little mono's that were bent on getting rammed. Would have been fun to compare our performances off wind. That poor old Shark didn't give us to much trouble in the 3 races, so we set our sights on the 4 A-Cats that started 3 min. ahead of us. It was really fun closing up and finally catching them all at each finish. We even passed a few at the line, though never did get Pete Melvin on his A2.

P.S. there are some photos posted of the event:

Just search for "Midwinters" and open the Multihull gallery. Most shots are of the A's...only a couple of me & my crew...hard to tell we're on a Tboat though.

Cheers! Hope to see/race you again one day.

Mike.
