so so glad that everyone is OK... I had a nice visit with RankDaddy just before the awards ceremony and he was his usual great self after a long weekend of racing...

Andrew/Shakedown team KUDOS you won the war of attrition... Congratulations, your hull has the advantage AT THE BEACH, Im sticking with that position...
Hey, great spending some time with you Bruce! I'm looking forward to your drone vid! All in all a good race to attend, but the loss of our dragboat racing friend Mike Fry cast a somber cloud on the weekend. We've lost way too many people in this sport.

Long Beach was as crowded as I've seen it Saturday and probably half as crowded sunday (guessing). The GN's were the show this weekend with a full field and excellent racing. We were given a treat on the last race of the day. Ross arranged a grand prix race pitting Aussie 6 ltrs against 2 of our K boats. A perfect end to a fun weekend of racing.

Thanks for the donuts Bruce, see you next time.
