Epic Trip

Angus, Thanks for being such a great host.
All of you (to many to name) made this a great trip for me.
Had a hoot making all those south tower runs with all of you.
Finally got to put faces to forum names!!!!

Only complaint....Get rid of the horseshoe crabs!
I lost count of how many I hit with my buggy seat.
Guess that's what happens when you bring a low rider to the beach.

Thanks again to all of you.

It was great to meet you too Sean. Wish I could've been there more than just one day.

I agree with all the thanks!

Thanks Angus for setting another good JIBE, and thanks to all you other guys for coming and enjoying GA. The weather may not have been perfect for the entire show, but when it was on, it was hitting on all cylinders for sure!

I'm going to take a nap now

Sean thank YOU for making the trip and adding more to the fabric of JIBE. Now you are back in the land where west winds are good. (Does that mean you liked Friday?). Sure hope to see you back next year.

Hey Sean, I never noticed until I posted the photo - what are you doing with your harness set up? You have the pad lower and upside down - nut protector?

No Mark, that's what happens after the sky opens up, and you find every 3 foot deep tidal run off with your buggy.

Seemed like home!
