So where's this video? As a fellow flying club member of both Canucks on the world team, I need to evaluate their performance!

I can sympathize with Frazer though... SOME beers are more pleasant when you wear them instead of drinking them ... and THAT's sayin' somethin'

Damn, that was too much fun. Thanks Frazier for recruiting myself and my buddy Scot.

I can't wait to see the vid as well, I think Biff and I were pretty darn close. I'd say I beat him but, it was just too darn close from where I was sittin'.

As far as the spillin' goes, well, that just kinda happens. Beside's it was kinda hot, and with that black shirt Frazier was wearing, he just needed to cool off a bit.

Cheers,
Dave

It was a spill fest from the start! Bogan blew the foam (about 7 ounces worth!) off before the contest started. That in itself negated his team's chances at victory. As I instructed my team, when Bogan ZERO'S the boat race FROM THE BEGINING, (and refused to top off his beverage that he wore more than drank), the contest was ours before the first brew was sipped. This is called strategy! My team was instructed to just sit down and sip.

What the vids will reveal is BOGAN zero'd the contest. He also dumped the remaining 5 ounces on his Lillipution noggin. Thanks to Fast Freddy Johnson for observing Bogan's cheating and standing firm on his decision.

Upon review of the contest rules committee, Frazer faces possible expulsion from the World Boat Race Committee.

Thank you,
Bob "Biff" Sadler, Chief in charge of the World Boat Race Contest Rules Committee.

Hi Bob,

I arrived back to good old Germany; but it is cold, windy and so no flying weather.

You did a great job, thank you for all of this.

It was a great time seeing all the friends from all over the world again and having a lot of fun.

Next "Boat Race" will be in 2007 and we will win!

We will make new rules !!! The weight from the USA team and the team "rest of the world" must be equal. Now compare Andy with Frazer !!??? mmmh, not really fair.

OK Ok !!! Hope to see you soon again.


Best Regards - also from Henning -

I think Biff needs a team trial. Anyone notice Andy coming up for air. How embarrassing was that.

You don't recruit a bunch of Hay eaters just to have them take a pause in the drinking.
