imax See ya in Point Bruce ! Seas are kicking butt here right now. Strong North East Winds most of the week.
Surely to leave a nice ground swell behind for Sunday ! :sifone:

If you want to watch Offshore boats catching major air in the OCEAN, come to Point Pleasant Beach on Sunday Sept 13th. Winds blowing North East & East most of the week will certainly leave a great ground swell for Sunday's race.
And I will point this out as well.
Be advised, Jenkinsons is closing the water off to swimmers during the race to allow the race to be kept as close to the beach that is permitted by the Coast Guard.
Also, I'm not making any promises but I personally put in a request to have the boats leave the Inlet on plane.
Good news is they are looking into it. So there just might be a possibility. But it is always the final call up to the Coast Guard even if they say yes today, depending on the conditions of the day they have the right to say no.
Keep your fingers crossed and be at the Inlet. Hopefully we get the go ahead....

What class is Sassy Girl running?????"
EXTREME CATCH :sifone:
If you only saw where I was to take that shot...:ack2:
It was extreme.
Last night I spoke to the Coast Guard and they actually removed 2 fisherman from where I was earlier due to the huge waves crashing over the jetties.
Most times there is high risk to get certain shots... I was hoping not to get washed off the rocks or have a huge wave crash over me when I was out on the end....:ack2:

We are a path to a great day of racing. Sunny clear skies today with temp being around 80.
Seas should be just enough for some good air shots.
I will be in the AIR today pulling double duty. Spotter for the Angel ONE Divers and secondly my coverage.
I'll be back tonight. Have a great day all.
I know I will.....:drink:

Thanks Scott,
That was some of the best racing we had all year. I wont lie I actually got wood when we passed Specialized :03: That was until we started having Transmission issues. What a great year racing with a great group of friends. I say friends because each team in class 5 has never been anything but supportive and helpful throughout the entire year. In my opinion class 5 is the best class in offshore racing right now. Thank you for having us
:USA:
