Offshore races May 2, 3, 4 in New Jersey

OK, the PBR puts you on the team!

I've got an idea percolating for the mother ship for NY Harbor. It's about 60', 1271s, aluminum hull. And stripper poles. Where do we find something like that?

Boom.....right here.....in a real metal boat. Not like those space ship looking cruisers they are building today out of Tupperware!

i feel a team meeting for Team MPO coming on.....and yes, Titos will sponsor!

Basically we we will let the Hydro's and Cats play in the lakes, we will take the big V's out with the bad boys!

Just curious what will the temps be like there considering it is still colder then hell here in West Mich .

[The Hedgehog]

We really need to get The Captain to weigh in, so to speak.

I will get him to join!

Oh it's great to find people that understand!

...I'm looking into having a "reduction" done...

Dang, I go to class for a few hours and this thing takes off! If I were near NJ I would definitely check out the races, because it's still a cool deal and extraordinary hardware.

If we're doing "Offshore Racing in the Gorge" I'm bringin' the Whaler. It's a cathedral hull, so that's almost a catamaran. No chop over three to fours (inches) though.

Trying to get a cooperative crossover going with the Bayliner Offshore Racing Team (BORT). Look them up on bookface, they're a hoot. I figure we'll need some competition to push us so the effort doesn't devolve into a Tito's induced haze.

I dusted off the old compass and plugged Bermuda into the Garmin, so the nav portion of the run is ready. The current record holder got smoked by the weather in 2013. He works for Maersk (who has one of the better metro departments on the planet) and they gave him the "perfect" window to do the run. I figure, if they screw it up that bad we'll just wing it. I've got a weather channel app on my phone just in case.

Called Donzi and tried to order a 38 ZR Comp laid up in Kevlar & carbon fiber and rigged for a couple of 1500lb diesels sitting where the rear seats used to be. Also an 800gal fuel tank. The call got dropped somehow, I must have hit a dead spot on my cell. Try again tomorrow...

It's a serious problem. It almost starts off harmless and funny but those tripod jokes start to get old after a while. Then there is the issue of clothes......that can be downright painful and expensive!


Meatbarrow! Now that's funny!

[The Hedgehog]

That was awesome. Now if we just had a few pics of Zilla when he had the 70's John Holmes porn mustache!

Anyone else? Bueller? Bueller?

Tommy West endorses them, so what's not to like? They will make worthy competition at the First Annual Gorge Offshore Classic!

I can't think of a more qualified individual to let this whole thing fall apart, than the man!
