I heard about free wi-fi at some of the places... any ALF-ies planning to give us updates on the day's events? Inquiring minds want to know

Just got off the Tellico. woo, what a day. The race couldn't have gone any better. from the put-in to the falls. there must have been 60 open boaters up there throughout the day. I came in fourth but I'll get over it.

Congratulations to Adam Trunell, Enjoy the Maxim.

He won the race in his Prophet. I think his time was 10:12.

I would have won if i didn't have to dump 2 times. Having a pump in in your boat does you no good without a battery :cry:

For me; boating brings me closer to to something divine, and in a open canoe I'm 8 Inches closer.
