The summer weather pattern appears to be here. Sea breaze of 10-12 out of the SE every afernoon with a chance of afternoon thundershowers. Temps mid 80's

Water level is up and this weekend it was very clear - Made us a bit nervouse being able to see the bottom all the time.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

You do have one of those "Weather Rocks" out your back door, right?

If the rock is wet, it's raining.

If the rock is bright white, it's sunny.

If the rock is gone, it's windy...but just right for cat racing!

Well, I looked out the window and my Weather Rock was moving, and wet! Take a look at the much more reliable weather site above however if you want to see what's going on up at Kelly Park.

Wish I were there, hope you guys/gals are having fun!

Thanks Ding, you know it's killing me to not be able to be there, even for the party. Truth is, I can't drive a car for 6mo, can't fly for 12 mo. can't drink a beer for as long as I'm on these damn anti seizure pills, and the doc. wants me on them for...12 months! Yes, I am getting a second opinion.

I really hope you are all having a great regatta!

How about some fleet/score updates? Anything?

Thanks Doug. They have me on something with a long name begins with L, but they say it's the Generic for Keppra.

The state of FLorida has a law (I was told by my Doc.) that after a seizure, no driving for 6 months. But judging by the awful drivers I've seen down here, I'd say I'm the only one who is obeying that law! I actually got hit from behind while sitting still at a red light some years ago, by a 95 year old man, who was...I'm not kidding...Lying Down with his driver's seat Fully Reclined! Then when I approached his car to ask him what happened, he said, "Why did you back into me?"

My wife called the cops. When the Police arrived, the Officer said, "Didn't I just see you at Publix?" to the old man, and then he told me the guy had just hit a parked car at the local Publix (a grocery store) 30 minutes prior!

His wife was in the pax seat giving him directions and telling him when to turn and stop.

He couldn't even see where he was going, he just listened to her directions. And he's not the only one out there.

But I can't drive for 6 months.......riiigghhtt. sick

Robi, I feel the same way, and I've only been grounded about a month. This Sucks! And the wife wants me to repaint every room in the house...

What I want to know is, Which Fleet won the Party?

Come on, spill the beans. I would have been no use to the F16 fleet, not being able to "hold my water" as I am now being forced to dry out.

I trust -someone- picked up my slack, Gina maybe? grin Or Terry?

The party was a hit, I missed the bulk of it due to regatta chores. The band was a Grateful Dead cover band, which seemed to fit for the crowd.

We had to dodge a lot of weather. I must say iPhones are the greatest thing since sliced bread. Knowing something looking threatening wasn't going to pass over the course was priceless. We had some real downpours turning the field where we rigged and stored the trailers into a lake/swamp. By morning it was dry so it was all good. The three day format appears to have worked out well and will be repeated for next year.

We had 39 boats which is a decent bump from previous years and everyone appeared to have a good time and ALL were made to feel welcome.

The results are posted in the Results Forum.

I don't mean to be picky, but didn't we have 43 boats with 42 of those registered? I thought it was a really great weekend and I'm sorry many of our friends couldn't be there. Maybe next year we'll have those that missed and more. We have a great group of folks that took charge and did their part to make this event a success and Dave was a huge part of that success - thanks to all!

39 paid, 1 comp so 40 boats. The 43 was a miscount caused by some pre-reg's that didn't show.
