it was a little difficult in that wind and visibility

kind of penalizes boats from hyc also

understood

Understand - not a problem.  Other boats were able to fill in the final results.  Sorry you missed out on the rum.
We try to double check and cross reference everything to get it right.

Beautiful wind and weather for a change.  At least this time I was not even close to hypothermia. Looks like #4 is going to be similar.

Had to bail early but did manage to get some of the chili.  Don't know who made it but it was pretty darn good.

Thanks to all you great GBCA volunteers for all your effort.  You guys rock.

The "Sailor's Chili" was from Marilyn Horton, wife of Walter Horton, Firewater. Good stuff, Marilyn!

[Terry Young]

Sorry I missed out on Marilyn?s chili, I was giving my Mother an 80 birthday party. But sounds like Marilyn?s chili was hotter than ?FireWater? ;-), sorry Walter you know I had to say that! Looks like Skalawag found a pen and score sheet , well done, and it look like Leopard is coming on strong, great job Jim, Bob and crew. See you all on Ice# 4, full speed ahead!  ?KATANA?

I#3 looked great from the air!  
I'll dig up a pic or two a little later...

Had a few "issues" on this side of the city, but I finally have the photos loaded from Icicle Race #3. These are the 30% size. If you would like any of these in 100% size send me an email at sailsong@swbell.net. The link is http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacyphotos/sets/72157632597142058/. The link to John's flickr account is http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacyphotos/sets/. Hope I can make this weekend. Last weekend was spectacular!

As usual, great shots.

Thanks Scott.

[shawn]

Good shots scot

Dragons looked good.

Walter dont hit the emergency brake on the last leg again.  That is only for emergencies to avoid a collision. 

There was a moment when I thought we were going to get thrown out of the plant and go home.  As of now I will miss Sat again.
