I am at a loss for words and extremely upset about the passing of my friend Gene Willen.
How do I grasp reality and my emotions right now regarding Gene's passing.
I am still very shell shocked.

Get Real Roy:
Roy was introduced to me by Rob Clarke who said Roy has some...
This is a classy response. I agree that the erroneous runs should have been thrown out. I certainly wasn't going to associate myself with that nonsense.
Well as we know stuff happens. As always great to see you and all of our boating family members wherever we may be boating. :).
Well they cleared me to run the course but the finish markers were not even in the correct place due to wind drift. No they were ready but I was told the angle compensation feature on the radar guns was wrong.
In any event the first three runs should have been thrown out period. It would...
Well I was the first to run and the speed came back at 126.7 and I said say again. They repeated and I called Jimmie Nichols directly on his cell phone and said Houston we have a problem. I could not claim a number my Simrad clearly had as different.
I came back and heard the next run was...

The biggest issue is lodging...no real hotels nearby. We always rent a condo or house depending on who wants to go to LOTO with...
Dave is not lying about it being rough during Shootout weekend. One of the main reasons I also brought my 32DW. Worse than the ocean as the swells and bounce back will have you wishing you had bigger boat.

I can tell you it is one of the softest riding small cats I have ever driven. I hit swells and don't have to cringe this one just dances softly over it like a much bigger boat. Plus, it holds four people safely and hauls the mail. One last thing it can flat out turn...damn near throw you out...
