Thunder on the Gulf was nice.  Liquorish carried Mike and Jerri Potts, Jimbo and Janie Jolly, and Christine & Me out to the Perdido Pass where we anchored off the East side of the Channel.  We had plenty of food, snacks, spirits, and good companionship.

Of course, there was plenty of people watching	There were plenty of people on the beach to view the races.	Another view of people on the beaches.
There were at least 7 helicopters following the action.	Besides the races, there were plenty of boats and people on the beach to view.	Looking in the opposite direction of the picture to the left of this one... out to sea.
The Hooters boat was in the lead at first.	Jerri Potts up on the fly-bridge	Jimbo Jolly on the fly-bridge.
Learning The Ropes zooms along	Mike Potts holds onto a line to keep the outgoing tide from sweeping him out to sea.	Hooters has the lead... for now
Popeyes looked good but wasn't that fast that day.	Reliable was closely followed by a chopper.	Lots of people cooled off with a swim.
