2014 Island Hop Regatta, Ocean Springs, MS

My wife and I are in ,,, F16 Blade

I'm in! Let's try to get 50 boats on the beach for this one too. I'm prying a couple more guys out of Memphis if I can 😀

Did you get your new main sheet blocks threaded?

I'm not sure you're "IN" until you've registered.

I'm IN!

I'm registered...see y'all there!

Signed up, paid. Looks like we're missing a bunch of people. Hope they get on board quickly, booking a room was a PITA sold out ordeal $$$. Ended up renting a house there for a few days; much better deal. There's an extra bedroom w/ its own bathroom if someone gets in a pinch.....

Yep, had to replace center block with a block and becket to make it work right. Still haven't tried it out but i will before the regatta 😉 I'll try really hard to not capsize in the channel again like we did at S2S 🙄

um........ I'm IN!

Good Times 😀

Need more H16's!!! where are you guys hiding??!!

Looks like I've got second place sewn up in the Hobie 18 class. 😀

Damon , You will probably go in the H-20 , 6,0 , 5.8 etc. class. Better ditch the wings !

Doug, if you haven't noticed, Damon factors the wings into "crew weight" lol. You'll never see him race with anyone over 100lbs haha. There's a weird mix of boats and classes, I'm curious how they are going to figure out the race.

See you guys on the beach in an hr or so!!

Great venue!
Tomorrow is no racing for me, I'm headed to ship island for a casual lunch and a couple hrs of swimming :0)

How was the wind? I am sitting about 90 miles south and it was dead calm all weekend out here!!

I wish I had some skis or an air chair to tow behind one of our rescue boats!!! LOL

Both Saturday and Sunday started off very light, to the point where you might doubt if they could get a start off. However both days right on cue there was enough wind to get everyone away from the line and then it slowly built up to probably 10-12 by the end. All in All beautiful weather for a Fourth of July weekend, lower than average temps and just enough breeze to keep things moving.

Wonderful time was had by all (or at least had by me).

Damon , It was a great weekend !!
