Let's hope all the Texans do better today.

Close point spread in the J80 class for the top 5-6 boats....
Still anyone's game!

Some interesting news. The house 'Hot Ticket' was staying at in Key West burned this is evening. From what I understand, fire started in a vacant house a few houses down. Everyone is ok. House or not, tomorrow they race again... McGagh is asking if this is grounds for redress....
Wow crazy night. House two down fullyengulfed. Smoke detectors do work. I almost slept thru the one in my room. Thought it was malfunctioing!!! Ran out with as much as I could grab thru embers flying and water from fire dept. Firemen never came back in the alley way were our house s to see if anyone was back there. Everyone is ok and were able to get in this morning to get rest of stuff. More breeze today!!!!
I love how friends call you when they are drunk at the bar but not when their house is burning down. Wow.
Here are results after day 3.

The competition from Missouri took the Texas flag????
I'm sure Kenny and Mike have a payback plan...
Another Key West for the record books. I read in the blog that Revolution had an accidental jibe at the finish and somebody got bonked. They got a second today in race 9, best finish so far. Hopefully all is ok.
It was Chuck that got hit. Fred drove down at the finish to get across the line and just after the whistle a small swell picked up the back end and caused the jibe. He will have a small "war wound" and might still have a headache but that drive down got us across the line 1.76 seconds ahead of the boat we needed to beat in that race.
It didn't seem to effect his tactics, in the final race he managed to not only beat the same boat but put another one between us to pick up a place in the final standings.
Good times
