...And already have stories to tell. Figure to wash, wax, put numbers on....and have her in the water by mid-week. Our agent, Rick, donated all the time I needed, (about 12-hours on Saturday and today) before I hit the road. Above and beyond in my book.....I feel very comfortable with the boat. Drug her from Annapolis to Norfolk.....V-6 Explorer had no problems despite strong cross winds. Thanks to all (Sean, Ronald, Steve, Keel) who replied to my earlier query for PHRA rating. I'll let you know what they assign me...will use your data as reference. Sean, believe you asked where I will race. I'll race in the very informal (and first year) White Shoals Racing Club, on the James at the entrance to the Pagan. Hope you get your rudder fixed SOON....Maybe I'll see you on the run up to the Ghost Fleet on 15 May. It's great to finally be a fellow boat owner...and look forward to conversing with you.......and hopefully helping YOU out somewhere along the way. Regards....Mark
