That was one of the funnest sailboat races I've ever had. I led Mark the whole way for 13 miles, but we were close enough to heckle each other. I pitched in the funky current of the powerplant outfall right at the finish line. I swear that guy passed me laughing with a beer in one hand, a cigarette in his teeth all while flying the spi in 15 kts. That guy is classic!
I'll ask him about getting the FX there.

Sasquatch.

Mark is the same one who when me and lewis were racing him down wing we pitched the 18. Lewis cut his leg and as we reemerge from the sea of cortex Mark sails by and says " Hate when that happens" . he's a great person, and who else allows thew regatta party and camping on his private property.

Rich and Jeremy:

While you are talking about the downhill run to Moss Landing from Santa Cruz, you seem to forget that you both have had problems passing me with your SPIN-y boats. First Jeremy on his FX passing my 18 and then this year Rich -you on the Tiger passing me on my 20 (Using the Pink and Blue sails I bought from Chris)

Hope your shoulder is better Rich.

Jeremy, you should take the FX, the little man and the wife and not be a dealer and go have fun at this event

- Dwight

Well Rich, You finally had to let the cat out of the bag. What a great thread you guys have going. you're bustin' me up.

Yo, Gordo,
Got some pics for Bella. E-mail me so I can send them to you.

Happy Sailing,

Hey David! That's great! I'm sending them an email to get with you as Bella still has the card you gave me. I'll be seeing them this weekend as well. Oh, are you going to the San Diego Classic? If so, you have crew. This time it would be Rachel. I need to know because others are asking for one of the girls and they both really enjoyed your company at Long Beach, as I always do. Please email me at [email protected]. Thanks!

Fire up boys and girls, we're getting close! My group is leaving Iowa in 37 days!

Being that I would be the only FXone in attendance I will not be making it.

Sorry Karl, it appears that those who have bought the boat don't get into racing or our crowd. Jeremy spent time sending notices to the many sailors he has sold FX Ones to, and none showed interest. Can't figure it out.

Someone find Karl a Tiger and a crew.

Karl, The FX-One is such a bitchin, cool, and otherwise f'n amazing boat, I just can't apologize enough that we were unable to get a fleet together. If I had the money, I'd buy one now, just for the fun of it. I'm really bummed that you are not coming. You should just come for the party anyway, so we can pile on you and get you toasted and, well, you know, find a way to make it up to you. You know, Havasu has an endless parade of, well, you know, I mean, amazing looking sirens. That is the best I can do.

reference 'The Tales of Brave Ulysses' by that great band Cream.

No apologies required Gordo. It is what it is.
