This was very sad.  There wasnt a dry eye in the classic last night when Brad announced this.  Kinky was also a sailor on Galveston Bay for many years.  His mother Pokie was one of the founding members of GBCA and was at the commodores ball several years ago.

We will miss you Kinky.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. 

Kevin and Traci Hayes

Eight bells for Tim. 

Will be racing with a heavy heart this Wednesday, and hope to see you all Thursday.

Here's a great pic of Tim, on one of his fly fishing adventures, doing what he loved.
