    When the sky is grey,look out to sea.
    When the waves are high and the light is dying,
    well raise a glass and think of me...
    When I'm home again,
    boys, I'll be buying!

    I'm not sure, but he looks to be a little more aired out than you.

    Were you trimmed up enough?

    No shame there. Your water race record is still intact.

    I had my flaps up and my bench seat and tray in it's upright and locked position

    was a real nice evening out there

    still trying to find the trim sweet spot but she runs fairly well
