Look for the Big Blue Bimini (BBB) on the Sea Ray 24. Give us any hand signal and we will throw bottled water directly at YOU. No charge. Limited time offer, Saturday and Sunday only.

Eric, I hope you'll have a chance to snap some pics if you're not sailing! Wish I could be there! All the best, Brian

Chances are we will have a very high tech lens on board.. I hope to spend a few moments at A mark and below to capture some action.

Thanks for the water, I was getting tired of the salt water that was being blasted at me.

Yes, thank you Eric very much for the two waters just before the start of the last race. I was so thirsty I missed our 3 minute flag while drinking and we ended up starting about 20 seconds late, but it was worth it for a drink of fresh water!

Let me just say that Craig has a hell of an arm. Tossing a water bottle from a moving powerboat to a moving sailboat, factoring in wave action, and the affect the wind will have on the water bottle as it flys through the air....he managed to hit me "between the numbers" with each toss!!! look out Tom Brady!!!! Although, you do need to work on your form......not quiet perfect spirals, but close enough!!! :-)

It was a real pleasure... All of you guys were great to watch. I have never seen sailing from this perspective, it makes me appreciate the athleticism required to be a sailor. Karl, you guys were great photo targets at A mark, Trey, try to stay on the boat, good job of draggin you butt back on.... Jamie, lapped every one like three times? We got ired of seeing you, "Oh, here is that T Boat again"..... Flesh Rocket (Larry) hanging in there. I learned a lot from watching your styles. The inner course was harder to get because of the traffic but we did manage to get a few photos after the fleet thinned out.

Hey ksurfer, thanks for the peeps.

I tell you what, if you aren't going to sail, it sure is a lot of fun on the chase boat with big wind. It sure beats sitting on the shore. It is also great being on the boat that is helping instead of the boat in distress like I usually am.

Thanks for letting me hang out on the boat Eric it was a great weekend.

And a big Thanks to Mike (rhymes with Zhik) for all the SWAG, rash guards, booties, wet suits, etc. Lots of give aways! I scored a woman's small top but it made my butt look big, so I gave it to a gal there, with a much nicer butt! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Oh, and the Layline Custom Spin halyard he made worked Great! Not a single take down muffed by kinks! Thanks Mike!
