"Catalina Ski Race" 2009

Few more from Marine Stadium.

I met Bob Maher and his daughter, hell of a nice guy. I also got to see some of his new skis, they are bad ass. I was half tempted to buy one but then I relized I cant ski worth a shit and would never use it for what its intended purpose is. I then ran into Bob aka river and we made the rounds or had some rounds, or something like that.

Over by the launch ramp.

Launch ramp on friday getting things dialed in. Look at Bob go, mobile boat mechanic on friday and rescuing a guy from airplane crash on Satuarday. Lets just say someone is prepared for anything all the time.

So this pic was taken about 2 seconds after Dave noticed the cheerleader deal on the van. The initial look on his face went from big ol shit eating grin seeing the van for the first time, to WTF is that I'm don't think I like it anymore, to that's kinda funny if your not me. There was quite a few of the crew standing around when it all went down.

I don't think I will be going, but maybe. I don't want to drive across the desert with the baby in the heat, just in case. I also don't want to leave her and Sherylle at home. I think we'll be heading out again in September/October. Get the off road cars ready because its gonna be a hell of a winter in Parker w/some boating mixed in. She did have her first race weekend and it went real well.

I forwarded the Bemis pics onto the boat owner to send to Mike. He should be glad to get those. Did you know he's recovering from brain cancer? Had surgery just 6 months ago. Also, I heard the fall was self induced because they got 'pinched' coming into the queens gate by the 3rd place Masters.

If you want high res versions I can email them to you, or for that matter anyone that wants any of the shots I took. Looks like a hell of a rcovery program he has going on. I guess there was a protest, he said she said deal but no patrol boats were around to see what actually happened, so it is what it is.

Sorry we couldn't hang out a little longer, the kids were getting restless and hungry so we had to split.
