They do race in Iraq...most of the time for their lives. Are you being deployed with the Military? Please be safe during your time there and come back safely to the USA. Maybe we can get the HCA to send you copies of the HOTLINE magazine while you're there. If you can't sail a Hobie while you're there you should at least be able to read about them and see some great photos. I've got a Brother in law and two nephews there right now. If you don't already get the HOTLINE and think you'd like to while in Iraq please send me your mailing info (
[email protected] ) and I'll take care of it. The magazine is mailed out every two months.
