Banana Hammock was able to drive right over that Island. Maybe nekkid beav needs to buy a wheel.
Banana Hammock used his credits to buy an F250 to tow it across the island!!

I am afraid Nekkid beav is visiting Gilligan.

Maybe he will meet up with Ginger and Mary Ann.

I read that these boats are all carbon fiber, masts and all.

Didn't see a single rod holder, but man these boats are gorgeous. Blasting through the slop.

Most racing sailboats, the mast, boom, and hull are carbon fiber. Half the boats lose their masts during the races because they are built so light that they snap easily in high winds. The rigging and sails are Kevlar. They use Kevlar sails because they hold their form real well without flapping and they are very light.

I had to put some removable rod holders on the stern. I am trying to win the virtual Billfish tournament also!

I might be slowing down, but we have gained 130 miles on the leader boat and Reel in the last 24 hours!!

A Yamaha f250 would be too loud.. Everybody in the race would know they were cheating. You'd have to use a Suzuki so they can't hear you slip past them!!

I actually ran aground on the west side of the island and Ii wasn't even near it. I logged in a few times and my boat had not moved a bit. So I kept heading east and tacked north again. I figured if the island was as inaccurate as it was on the est side maybe it would be equally inaccurate on the east so i could go right next to it like that.

It looked like you were having a raft up with another boat

Anyone else notice this on the home page:

Fastest today albizzia | 1237 NM, rank 5847

Assuming that means the last 24 hours, that's over 51 knots an hour!

Hello?

Menzies.. I have been trying to figure that out myself. I was looking at what he could have possibly done to make the game think he moved that far and I can't think of anything. I guess he dished out the cash for eight or nine Verado 350's.

Yep, just looked at that. Looks like that's what they are doing.

If you read the forums that come with this thing you can see that a lot of people are confused by how it runs, and refuse to pay any money for extras because they think it is full of bugs.

THE REAL LICKETY SPLIT needs to chill out and drink a Corona with Menzies. I am tired of you catching up!! And call your dentist. I think he might have kicked the bucket!
