Hey Jay, that's awesome that you were able to drive again, did you stay in Sarnia or Port Huron ?

Good call on not running the T, as you saw 2 footers is totally normal conditions on the river and can be much worse too. The crowd loved the pass with the Canadian flag, the announcer (one US, the other a local Sarnia radio DJ) really pumped up the fact that 615 was a Canadian boat but never mentioned your names.

I think there was only one Baja. It is a bracket class you get a GPS on the boat and you need to run as close to 70 as you can with out going over. you are allowed go over by like .5 or under 3 times before being penilized. if you can do that you can run. you would need to set up a throttle and kill switch on the passanger side.

you must have 2 in the boat one person can drive and throttle but you have to have 2 in the boat

Jason,
It was good seeing you in Port Huron. Yes the water was big for the critch. Hopefully the SLT looked good out there. some pictures from the Port Huron side here http://www.freezeframe.us/photos.cfm?ID=1564&action=new (10 "next video" clicks in). We had a blast at Sarnia bay Marina. I think we took over 25 people for rides on Saturday.
