I thought the event went quite well for the first year, we had a great time and when something was just not right or what we thought we wanted to see we gave it a fairly wide berth so to speak. Now that it is over a few respectful words will go a long way in helping to make adjustments for next year.

I think Ben made a good comment to me when we were leaving, the bar for this event has been set at a certain level, the goal now is to only raise the bar and make it better for 2009.

Hope things go good for you Pepe and the lower unit, let us know how you make out. I know of another smacked unit on day 2, ran their keys back for them to have truck retrieved. I also saw a boat get towed in by the Coast Guard about 2 hours after the event ended, he jokingly asked if he was late for the weigh-in. Another team had engine problems on day 1 and used a different boat for day 2. Guess when there are that many boats around, something is going to go wrong somewhere.
