Well fella's, The Jim hit the water for the first time last weekend at the Northern Nats. It was a scramble to get it there and Tom Kelly really bailed me out to make it happen. Thanks Tom! Overall, it went extremely well. I was just trying to get it around and get some of the kinks out. I know, I shouldn't try and do that at a race but its going to eventually end up there anyway. As each heat went by and little by little, we were making adjustments to get it running better and better. I hope to get to the pond this weekend to get it dialed in before Hobart. I have attached some pictures for you to see. Enjoy!

Hey Dave,
