Hi Rick, Cruiser challenge was a hoot. I didn't have the time... I drove down at the last minute, and had to leave early... still glad I went. I was crew. How ready did I have to be? Next year... I'll bring my Garmin Map 76 (to find the buoys). I'll be there next year. See you there. Bill Hey, if I don't have my Monty by then... if one of you wants the trophy, I'll rent the boat and get you one. Better yet... you take your boat, and I'll race you! A huge problem occured this year at the challenge. There was not one M-17 to be found anywhere. Of course that made the Potter 19 folks very happy as they had the middle size catagory to themselves. This means an M-17 didn't win because it wasn't there. M-17's where are you?
