Well, finally have a little time to write about our trip and post a few pics. Had a great time at one of the events on my must see list. Sunny Isles reputation has been a great one, and this year it worked out to where I needed a break from the crazy hours at work, and some friends from here were gonna be there.
Nice to meet many of you for the first time. And great to see those of you I don't get to see enough of.
We arrived in Fort Lauderdale Thursday at around 5, rented a car, and drove to the Newport where we had a room reserved. Of course, like all good things, (maybe because we were planning on seeing Gino while there), the room was wrong, and we got what was left over for the first couple of days. At least they comped us some.
A view from the first room. Not all that bad.....

06-20-2010 03:11 PMPart of the lineup at the dock before the Bimini run.....
Interestingly enough, Ryan and Isiah changes powerheads to run to Bimini, ran there and back, then changed back to race the next day.
They were looking a little frazzled in the lobby at the hotel....

06-20-2010 03:21 PMSOme of the testing on Saturday to get ready for the race the next day.
The new SVL Fountain tried 5 different setups from what Brian said Sunday evening. They ran really well on Sunday, so I guess the testing paid off.

The water was about perfect for some good rough water running, without being too crazy....
