Next race for us is the 42 mile down river..thats the mighty Mississipi river called Phatwater. Pat and I are racing in a mako Elite Double to try and break Steve Woods record from last year. The river will have to cooperate..his time is something like 3 hours 54 mintues. That's flying for 42 miles!! Heres team Hemmens in the Phatwater attire from last year. See how keen we are!

1. Good luck next weekend at the Phatwater. You guys can beat the record. I hear the river is up and will continue to rise. You'll have fun, I'm sure. Knock 'em dead.
   
   We'll be following along.
