    Did anyone out there go to this years Regatta? What did
    you think?

    The weather this year was phenominal! I was happy, no one
    stole our dinghy, as opposed to last year! Pretty expensive
    4 stroke..................1st casualty, many more to follow.
    Fun was still had by all!

    Till next year, Bon Voyage

    Absolutley amazing. The amount of flesh covered boats........once again. Although, to much salt water on board from the massive water guns. See you next year

    Next year... I'm bringing a dart gun and the next guy that sprays the inside of the salon or my instrument panel... is going to have deflated inflatable!:D

    Seriously... these guys aren't equipped with off-the-shelf Super-Soakers or squirt guns. Some of these guys had home-made water cannons that shoot a stream of water much like a garden hose. It's all fun, but some of these guys are purposely spraying the inside of yachts. :mad:

    I agree with you, some people just have no respect for
    others property. It is sad, kind of ruins the good time.

    Until next time

  6. You guys are looking at this all wrong. You have YACHTS!!! You can use a pressure cannon to get them back, it'll plug right in to one of your outlets. That'll teach them not to mess with the big boys.

    P.S. -Yachtforums-------no darts, paintballs. Shower them with paint at 300 feet per second.

    I agree with you on paintballs! Actually, I always thought you should carry a paintgun with you in your car, so when somebody does something stupid or inconsiderate... you plaster them, thus warning other drivers that same person is likely to do something stupid to them as well. Kind of a "citizens marking citizens" for the safety of us all! :D

    mean with paintballs, careful careful.

    I'm not willing to wait until next year to see your pics Bogan65! From what I hear, you're the best "Ornament" that ever graced the bow of a yacht. Is it true? I want proof! :D
