Nigel Pitt is registered on his F16 named "F-18 Eater".

Cute name. So I guess we'll have Nigel ask Ding if we can start with the F18's? ;^)

Is his daughter crewing for him?

Hey, were is everyone staying? Any good (ok, maybe not too good, but cheap) motels in the area?

A bunch of us stayed across from the Islander last year. Ping Gina, I think she knows the name of the place, I've forgotten.

Cheap but acceptable, just a place to lay your head.

I'm staying in a house with the Red Gear Racing crowd. I think it is full up.


I can not ****ing wait to get outta here!
Sub-zero temps, snow comin' outta everywhere. I just dug the the boat out of a snowbank today and took it down to the cabinet shop so it can thaw out. My super-duper double stack racks should be done middle/end of next week. I gotta figure out how to get a Viper, Capricorn, and Infusion onto the trailer.... Then hopefully in a week and a half I'm on the road. Still got a few odds and ends at work to wrap up, can't leave until those are done.


I'm boatless.

Well, maybe if I could find a link, I'd register...

How about a link instead of a boot in the nutz?

That depends on if a cold front comes through, one time it was in the 40's and blowing 25, in other years it's been in the high 80's with no wind, so you need to check out the forecast and dress accordingly.

I think the average temps for mid Jan. are about 75/65.

Just bring everything gear wise. When the locals are putting on wetsuits, all you'll need is skin. If they're putting on drysuits, you might want that spray top.

Yeah, even if it's only 45, Karl will think it's July Warm!

Hey Karl, how about that Vikes game outdoors last night? That looked cold! What are the MSP papers saying this morning? Is Brett done, forever?

I don't know, I don't follow college basketball.....

As far as cold, I don't know why anyone would complain, it was 25F yesterday. Compared to last week when it was -25F. It's a big difference. If I had to work outside, and it was that warm I'd be down to a sweatshirt in no time.

Hey Karl, if it will make you feel any better, it's going to get cold down here tonight, supposed to get down to 29 and tomorrow night down to 25!! In FLORIDA!! It's blowing 20-30 today.

Yesterday was sweet, 71 and blowing 15-20. I took the Prindle out for a sail with my 14yr. old daughter, double trapped, it was great, but last night the front came through and now it's cccCOLD!

Look out all you guys up in MD and the North East, it's coming your way today!

Mike, did you get any snow up in TN yesterday?

We got a little snow, more like a dusting.


It's been cold here also, lower 30's for the highs and mid 20's for the lows with some wind. brrrrrr...


I do think east TN got a lot more snow than we did.
