Mark,

You guys testing Thursday? What time?

Gootz

Noonish would be a good time. Be sure to stay late. I need help drinking all this beer I bought.

Pictures

Mark, I won't be there as much as I want to be. Post some pictures of testing and camp so that I can at least be there in spirit. Shooting for next year tho before I get too old and feeble to participate in the greatest outboard race in the country. My last round trip across Mullet **** near killed me, not really, but my butt was black and blue with scabs added for a couple of weeks. Still my two runnings of the event are still major highlights of my life. Good luck to you and everyone running this year.

You may be Karl, but you ain't Krazy. You just love it like the rest of us, and you will be missed this year and expected next year.
I hope we can get some pictures from the 'Kamp' up real soon. Glad to hear that it means as much to others as it does to us local racers. Bring it. KampKurz

Thursday's testing!

Mark,

Gootz, it has been blowing so darn hard that we are all thinking of heading to the Leeward side of some lake, to do some testing that won't be dangerous....really, it is blowing that hard. Never the less, testing will go on, so bring it on out and we will get some testing in. Look forward to seeing you. KampKurz

Good luck to everyone at Kamp Kurz this year. I sure miss Top 'O but I will be in a point to point marathon in the San Joaquin delta on Saturday sailing from Rio Vista to Sacramento (30 miles).
This is the same boat that I sailed at Kamp Kurz in '08. Up grades & improvements have been: New bottom & sides, full air floation tanks, new updates in rudder & dagger board. New wiskerpole launcher,sails & crew.
Attached is picture of the boat & crew. Julia & I are leading the centerboard division in the 16 race Thursday evening series at Lake Yosemite, Merced CA with 3 races to go.

Darrell...I didn't know you were into sailboat racing too. We could have been swapping sailing stories all these years. I won't be doing the Top O this year either. Old age has finally crept up. I tried running my C but knees were not behaving. Mark, good luck to you and all the racers. Have a safe and fun race. I'll probably see you in the pits.

Good looking boat by the way.

We are drawing near.

Lots of racers tested today, it is still rough, but many chose to put it out there anyway, hoping to get that prop selected and the set-up just right. Quite a crowd at the Kamp today, and a yard full of boats. It is really feeling like Top'O around here. I hope we can get some photo's up tomorrow. Bring it. KampKurz

Good luck to all! Hope to join you some year soon in classic.
