I have 10 14 year old girls here on my daughter's sleepover so there won't be much sleep in this house tonight - what a racket!

Makes managing the start easier though!

Just logged on, found myself (and everyone else) in the middle of a dead zone. They should have gotten Verizon to sponsor the pro sails.

Oh well, looks like I have a couple of days before I can run aground again.

9:40 a.m. Eastern Standard TIme

Onejacker has taken the reins. Flaps ten degrees....firewall throttle.

Good luck to all, especially us THT'ers. Lord knows I need some luck. Trying to improve on my 55,519 finish in the last leg. Gotta remember to play the course, not you guys, although out-racing The Menz would be fun.
