KATANA finished 7:46:30

Skalawag was about 15 seconds in front of us!

Hope to do better next time took some nice photos on the senond leg. Did not make the party, had motor problems in Clearcreek channel. But just made it back in the slip on a prayer. Then the long drive back to dry land(Katy TX).

But sailing in the bay with my wife and freinds PRICELESS!

Many thanks to all who make it happen! Terry :-)

I have not been able to find the new handy cap ratings for GBCA cub class(orange flag) RUM # 3. Does anyone know if they have been posted or e-mailed yet? Many thanks for any help!

Look like two boat hit, just after the low range mark. Every ok?

I was hoping that some was able to take a  photo of the 12 foot American flag that I was flying before and after the race. If anyone took one, can you please send me a copy. Many thanks and what a ride, I saw 24 knots of wind, and the food at the party was great. Terry Young (?KATANA?)

O happy days, Hurray :-)

I looks like we will be meeting at the Villa Capri Italian Restaurant for the awards after the races. Does anyone know what the dress code is, can wear my racing shorts and shirt and flip flops, or need to wear my Judge Smails clothes. Looks like a real nice place to meet and a great view of the lake. Look forward to seeing you all on the lake!   :-)

Katana is down for about a month for repairs. I am repainting her deck myself, and stripping as much hardware off as possible. Plan to do a roll and brush tip with two part Awlgrip paint. Had planned to do it last year, but a log(1.5 ft x 16 ft) speed bump in the locks, coming back from Harvest Moon changed all that! Ship wrecked in Freeport for about two months and $8K. Hope to be back going in time for the Elissa Regatta, pending on weather, work, and my wife(self declared jello-shot queen).  Best of luck to you  all, an safe sailing.

PS: Open to hear any painting tips. And paying someone to do it is an option, putting my daughter though collage! And insurance did not cover a lot from the log accident.   

I?m hungry now!

Many thanks Leigh Ann, I know you had a lot going on yesterday.
Jugde Smails would be proud of you! You all do a great job making this happen. I look forward to hanging the second place flag in my man cave in Katy Texas."Let your be RUM"

PS: Many thanks Bee

I was just wondering how tie brakers are handed. Shaken not Stirred had 12 points and Katana had 12 points.Shaken not Stirred had one firsts and Katana had two first places. But Shaken not Stirred  received second for the series and Katana received a third?

That's just sounds so wrong. Poor chicken.

Did anyone watch Animal Plant (Direct TV ch#282 )  Wednesday night(02-09-11) at 9 PM? They have a show name ?I can?t believe I?m alive?, they had the story of the sinking on the Cynthia Woods in the 2008 Veracruz Race were Roger died. Not sure how much is accrete,I thought they had escaped the cabin though the companion way not though the top hatch way. I know the footage of the start was not right, there was mountains in the back ground, never seen any mountain Galveston!  I guess it is just a reminder that what we do, has danger?s and to try to be prepared, always have a ditch bag ready when sailing offshore. Roger you are missed!         

Bought it all at the second hand store in Katy but the cap, and the cap on Amizon. Less than $15, price less if I win!
