   So... bought some website software, and tried it out with videos and pictures from our OFUM race. 

   Thanks to Chief, CrazyRussian (and Amy), Leatherlungs, SOS & congratulations ArdieO!

   Badger,

   Very nice, pictures, video, and write-up.  I really enjoyed reading it all and thanks for taking the time for creating those pages.  It was neat that Corsair got to experience it at such a young age and get the record for being the youngest to complete a Watertribe event.

   You might want to double-check either the date or the completion percentage when you mention the 2013EC on the first page. The 2013EC had an unusually high completion percentage due to favorable tail-winds.

   Great seeing you & Corsair, and great write up of OFUM2013! One more correction: doooobrd took first place in Class 4. I like your thinking though!

   Thanks guys; the fix is in. I shall never doubt your proofreading skills! Surprising how many details there are in these "simple" write-ups, especially when combined with learning webhosting permissions, website software and video filetypes. Yeesh.

   How're the hands, LL? Saw the painful pic of your blisters. Not sure how I avoided getting any.

   Badger,

   The hands are recovering nicely. After rowing  16.5 hours straight (with one 15 minute break in the middle) I was able to form blisters under my callouses (a first for me). I blame Shadeseeker as he was on my tail the whole race. The man is a machine! At one point I yelled over to him that I'd slow down if he would, but (predictably) he refused!

   OFUM2013 was a lot of fun, now it's training for NC!

   very cool, a great adventure with your son.  My son wants to give the EC or NCC a go.  He would like to do the NCC this year but I want to wait a little longer.  Great write up, love your sons enthusiasm and keeping you on the job, "starboard Dad!"
