I doubt I will try one of those things.  Not very agile anymore, but drinking, now that's different.

Well then stop by and have a beer with us!  This is not a sales pitch, the only thing i'm getting out of it is an excuse to leave work early and spend a few extra hours on the water.  It's also a cool way to meet people from other fleets.   

Interesting fact;  average age of a viper ower is 48 yrs old.  Guess that's because there's just no loads.. no winches to bend over...  no mainsheets to grind in and nothing to fall over when your' going from side to side.   

Tuma, Juan and I will both be there!   Stop by, we'll probably hit the classic afterwards.

I think I wipe out the average a bit.  At 69+ everything starts to slow down.

Plan is to bring Stinger up Friday afternoon.  We have a lot of prep to do to recover from Kevin's HMR "experience."  Don't have a clue as to when we get there but will definitely stop by.

The Viper is cool and if I were just a bit  younger would definitely consider one.
