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

I will get him to join!

...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...
