I'd like to add to that....
Thanks to Chief for creating and operating WaterTribe. Thanks to SandyBottom for bringing the NC Challenge into existence. Thanks to FatFrank and Scareman for their extensive contributions to race management this year and in previous years. Thanks to Jaybird for creating and quickly posting great videos of the 2012 NCC --including the start. Thanks to Tony for his multi-year support of the NCC. Thanks to many others helping out in numerous ways (e.g., inspections, photography, transportation, etc.). Great thanks to Floatsome for his brilliant efforts this year on inspections, then at CP1, and then back at Start/Finish. And always thanks to the Driftwood for hosting the NCC.
