No, no we haven't seen the video.

That's awesome Jamie

Got a link for the Video

BTW, Jamie are you coming up to the 14/16/Wave Daggerless Regatta in OKC? Should be a good time with deep classes at all skill levels.

I don't *think* so, but I don't know anything about that. When is it?

For the video link, go to catsailor.com and search the videos for "waterskiing" or something like that. It's really short but kind of cool. I think you'd need to tow a kid or a light female with big skis; and I'm not sure how you'd get someone up unless they dock-started; might be worth trying around here since I have lots of wind tho.

Wealthy & eccentric?? I just wanna get some sleep and not hear the hooker in the next room yelling "come on baby....."
Jamie, bring the 14 and meet us there for some 14fun. Some of us Yankees are staying at the Hampton Inn on NW Expressway. Just mention Hobiecat and you'll get the discount we're getting ($75 a room)
Bring your golf clubs too in case the wind is dead.

Ooh. Man I wish I could go but that's the weekend after I get back from China and I'm burning pretty much all my leave for that trip. Oh well. Are you going to Cowtown Cats in May? Ming and I are planning on going to that.

I hear that, got to pick out the events that work and stick with it. On our limited budget, no regattas in May (this year) but....we're going to Mid-Americas June 3 - 4 (Lake Texoma). We'll be home learning as much as we can about the H20 during May.

Looking for "safety in numbers" help down on 39th street. Don't be shy y'all!
