    Toms' sport turns left and turns right. No problem. I think it will even pirouette with some sweet talk and the perfect wind. Pretty danged stable.

      It looks like the Michigan buoys are smaller than what we're used to. We should be ok. If not, we'll blame it on the buoys being smaller that what we're used to. We don't see as well as we did yesterday.

      BTW I checked on our ''My model boats mean very little to me, and yours mean even less" T Shirts. I hope they get here in time.

        Why did you change the wording?

        I really meant "my boat means NOTHING to me, Your's means even less"

        If it gets broke...I'll make another one!

          It's a great slogan. Even more so coming from you Don.

            Are we finally going to do a figure 8 offshore course this year?

                This sounds great and will separate the men from the boys!!
                What do you think Don? Just bring lots of 30 min epoxy, glass & and duct tape??

                  Hey Doug,

                  Do they do the figure 8 the way we do it, Or do they have some weird way of doing that TOO!

                  cut a buoy and it's a lap penalty????? where's the fun in that?

                    TS,

                    It's really almost like that. Heck, if I break it, I'll just make another one!

                      If you cut a buoy everybody has to do the extra lap. Until there are no boats left floating. Your a shoe in Don. Those speed craft are made of steel.

                        I like that idea TS. Everybody does the extra laps. But then again, I need those BIG BATTERIES.

                        Doug and I tried out the new P-Limited hull today, he and I both had one ready to run. Seems to be doing pretty good but... we have nothing to compare it to as non of us have ever even seen a limited mono run before.

                        Doug is suppose to be putting a video of it on youtube, with me driving a full six laps.

                          Course placed itself today. I'm not admitting involvement because there was a guy in the boat that split the hind end of his pants from hip to mid thigh.

                          The course is perfect BTW.

                              Terry, Fred,

                              Please enter Don Huff & myself in P Limited Offshore, and enter me in P Limited Mono. All boats on DSM.

                              We can pay you at the pond or send me an invoice for ALL three entries to make it easy on yourselves.

                              Thanks!

                                I'm already entered in limited mono Doug. I knew I would have something going by then. But offshore never crossed my mind!
