The West Coast crew takes it to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL... After all, Cali is where it all started...

Until you see them up close and in person, a person just has no idea the level of detail in the rigging/mills/paint/floors...

Bragging rights for sure...

Have to agree with all this! ..... the level of detail is beyond incredible!!

Also thanks to Hotboat for the great coverage!!

Hey thanks Vic. I appreciate your efforts for some of us that couldn't make it.

Great pics

Welcome guys. To be honest, they're a little crude. I didn't have much time to clean them up because I wanted to post them asap.

That's the problem with the internet, you guys don't get pictures within 5 minutes you get pissed and go somewhere else LOL.

I'll spend some time this week and pick some favorites and clean them up and repost. It really does take time to process them well, so I totally understand why people don't post theirs right away.

I just hope Verizon works at Lake Ming.

I do have a suggestion. Someone needs to tell the owners to keep the clutter around their boats to a minimum. Zero would be best but probably not realistic. I did not shoot several boats because of this. The pics would have looked bad. A few were surrounded by ice chests, chairs and all sorts of stuff. Too much stuff to move. I'm probably being critical, but in their best interests it would help tremendously. Just my lame $0.02

I'm guilty of having my things around my boat. Every year gets better and thank you for letting us know for next time.

Thanks,
Tim
