Title: Kelowna 09 Pics
Post by: Lethal Weapon on September 21, 2009, 06:02:48 PM
interesting weather and some DAMN good racing (and I am not just saying that because we KICKED BUTT....lol)
Got some new perspectives on the water this weekend and as usual Kelowna is the best regatta of the year where everyone is having a good time and kciking back with their buds in the beer garden (and at the Casino...)

Too busy working and Racing this weekend but managed to fire off a few shots
More on my website as well (should all be uploaded by tomorrow)

Great pics as always, Lethal.  Though one thing I didn't get used to this weekend was hearing your voice at the start line, you sounded so serious... as if you knew what you were doing! Kidd'n... Good job though.  :D

Dragon Hearts Magnum coming back to the dock after their 2nd race on Saturday.


Nice photos, but that's actually after the first race. I raced in none of the second races on either day.

Great pics (and video) everyone.

Congratulations to Masters of D'zone for a fine finish. Once again you've shown how us it should be done. Looking forward to racing you, and all the other teams, next year.

Thanks for the pics
It was lonley on an overturned boat. 5 years steering and never put a boatfull in the water and we paddle in anything.
Thanks to the support crew for getting all my ladies out of the water.
I cant stress enough the need to train for the wosrt we have talked about going over and what to do every practce and still had panic.
Too bad this had to be in the Platinum final.We did get to rerace for 2 3 4 place everyone got back in the boat.
Tough tough ladies.
Thanks Dragonfire
