Gilly - Well, WE WON IT! I had Fullabull onboard as crew . You can tell you have a great crew when there is little discussion and no disagreement. Of course, there was a lot of talking going on. Who had the skankiest girlfriend in college, that sort of thing... (I won that one)

We had a tough time getting bait despite splashing at the ramp early and being in position to harvest bait by 510am. My hat is off to my friends Doug and Capt Steve Cienkowski (aka FishSteve) for their invaluable advice.

We got our one and only sail when Bill reeled it in and touched the leader at 756am. Turns out it was the only sail caught the entire day among the tournament competitors, giving us the win. Lord knows, everyone out there was trying their hardest including one boat with a full-time paid captain and crew. The sails were a little scarce today. Our sail was a biggun that hit a large rainbow runner.

Pics tomorrow.
