Cool pics. That just looks COLD!!! We were there for it last year and it was freezing out on the water with the June Gloom working. I'll stick to 110+ and water I can swim in.

Nice pictures. Have a friend that has done that race in the past. He would be doing again if still had the boat to make the run with.

Looks like a good start. Did you go to Avalon and back? Looks like a 30'Hallett tow boat, right? Good luck on race day...

I thought all those AUS skiers were tough guys - last year in training we stopped about mid channel on the way back, and a BIG f-ing shark swam by the boat. Those guys couldn't get in the boat fast enough... Easy for me to say I was in the boat.
Just got the call one of our guys pulled a bunch of muscles in a bad fall over there. Hope he's all dialed in by July!

Hmmmmm.
I saw the #17 white outboard & Dave Rankin in the Penzoil boat heading out this morning as we headed back in....
