Congratualations to South African Steve Woods for winning the Phatwater race Saturday, October 11. 40 miles on the Mississippi...in 3 hours 53 minutes...unofficial. Steve broke the previous record and won the cash prize of $2000 for an under 4 hour achievement.....Well done Steve! And...well done for not breaking, cracking, sinking or otherwise dinging the mako 6. See you in New York!

1. Hey DeAnne, put Steve, well worn, on the plane today for New Yock, New Yock. We had a blast with the Okes from Durban: Steve, Bevan and Marcelle. We got Bev's babe, Marcelle, in Melissa's 18X for the Phatwater and she was a screamer, with a local gal from the Tulane Rowing Team, Alice Dickenson. Great party for a week+, and a great race. Hope you guys can make it down next October 10 for Phatwater #VIII. Big prize $ again.
   
   Later,

2. Steve was/is a class act, great racer, and apparently all-around nice guy, he also very unselphishly spent a much appreciated afternoon with a paddling neophyte--thanx, Steve, and good luck in your next race!
