Wow! What a fabulous race you guys put on this past weekend! And in spite of Mother Nature’s attempts to disrupt the event!
A special thanks to the Indy Model Boat Club, the sponsors, the workers and volunteers, the City of Hobart, and especially the retrieve boat crew who had to go out after practically every heat to pick up dead boats. They worked their tails off on what appears to be a thankless job. In addition, the dinner and the raffle prizes were spectacular and some of the explanations and descriptions of the different boats that were provided by the announcers were very helpful for the public, I’m sure.
Although I had visited a couple of times previously as a spectator and pit man/spotter, this was my first time racing at this event. I had a great time and was so honored to be able to join an elite group of people who achieved such a coveted award, with my 19 points for 4th place with 3 buoy cuts in the 3rd round of Jersey Skiff... ;^) Thanks for the nomination Larry...that was hilarious…!!!
Thank you to everyone responsible for putting on such a great race! Look forward to next year’s event.
