it's good. You'll like it. It's "old school".

I posted this back in 2009 . . . Just love all those old school mercs. Pretty impressive what they did with just a compass and chart. Apparently the 1967 Bahama500 (year before this) was a sh!tshow with the weather.

At 11:57 in the film(http://vimeo.com/5671455) my father is in it, leaning over wearing his Brown & Hauptner Marine shirt. I really miss him...

My Sister and I were just talking about how much we still miss Papa. He died behind the Iron Curtain before the wall fell. She still asks him for advice, and I just think about all of the wonderful times we had together, and how special he was as a mentor to me and all he knew.

Those guys and gals were tough. Great film there.

Thanks for posting that Mr. B. Miss my Dad, too. He never kept me from heading toward the water whether a creek, pond, river or the big pool...

Was your Dad running with Moesley in this race or with Sirois? It looked like Sirois' triple Merc o/b rig "29," was a SeaCraft. Is that right? At any rate, it looked like the name was "Sea Saw." Until I saw this, I was thinking of naming my 21 SeaSaw. Now I'm not sure it's appropriate running a singe 150 MerCruiser and all.

Odell Lewis seems like such a genuine gentleman.
