Ok, so the thing here is, I suck at keeping this up! I did so good for a long time, then racing and life take hold, and whoops! there goes the blog! I tell you it is the first thing to go! So here is a brief recap of the rest of our year as it was, also what we are doing now, and planning on doing next season!
After our Mt race and our trip, we had a handful of races left. Honestly we tended to stay finishing in 3rd (ish). That seems to be our place! Hopefully that will change with the new boat. One of the reasons that I didn't write here after most of the races is the plain fact that I was so fed up after most of the races that I just didn't want to deal with even thinking of the races. There was alot of crap (read politics) in the tail end of the year and it really sucked being at some of the races. That being said, I was for the first time glad that racing was done when it was. Thankfully at the annual region meeting, alot of it was dealt with and so next year looks to be better! YAY!!
So onto what we are doing now: we are in new boat mode all the way. It gets worked on pretty much daily. All the insides are in, ie the fuel cell, steering cables, drain holes yadayadayada. The center decks are on, the sides are fit and ready to go. We had a slight hold up on those though. We are waiting for one very small important piece to go one the left deck, and the guy that builds them is in the hospital having just had surgery on Tuesday. So not sure when we are going to get that piece. So we are skipping that part, getting ready to flip the boat over and get working on the bottom of the boat. We are hoping to get the bottom done, and painted, then flipping back over and hopefully by then having the part that we need to finish the decks. SOOOOO that being said, our first race I believe is in the end of April. Ouch! I have been taking pics of the boat in progress, so I will at some point in time post those that I have! So that all being said, hope you had a grand Thanksgiving, and have a WONDERFUL Christmas!!!
