Many thanks to The CMB gang for putting on another great race! I had not been down that way for a few years and the lack of trees was a bit of a shock. The people CDing the race did a super job with running the race ( even Mudbug was on top of things! ) and got the heats done so people could leave early Sunday afternoon. Always nice to see old friends and catch up with everyone. There were some really fast boats this year in just about all of the classes. You had to have your "A" game out there on the water for sure. Congratulations to Don Ferrette on his wins with his twin nitro rigger. It was his first race of this year and he was on the top of his game when the boat hit the water. Congrats also to Ray Sametz who took home 3rd place in F Single Hydro with his Mongoose rigger. Goes to show that old boats never die........they just keep getting better. Thanks to Anthony Black and his family for all of their hospitality in putting up with Ray, Don and I while we were down there for the race. First class people in my book. Looking forward to next year.
