If this were a little better it would make a good postcard I think. The Michigan City Lighthouse, breakwall light, Cat Can Do between, and the skyline of Chicago in the distance. Not something seen every day.

Sailboat wasn't fast enough......

First race just finished. SVL ended with (unofficially) Miklos first, Lilly second, Boatfloater third (broke) and Octane fourth (broke). Tight race with Miklos and Lilly throughout. Then Miklos broke right after the finish.

Cat Can Do led Wake Effects the entire race but broke in a cloud of oil smoke with only a couple laps to go.

It was an exciting, close race between the two. I think I have a butt pucker sequence of Cat Can Do. I'll check when I get home.


Yep, here: http://seriousoffshore.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25205

Second race will be P3, P4, Cat Outboard, and Supercat. The wind and lake is kicking up. Will not be a flat water lake race.

WHM was in the lead but spun out and Performance passed them. WHM caught them some but could never get back to striking distance.
