Sport Derby Corpus Christi

[Master Oil Racing Team]

Got to watch the Tri Hulls run for the first time today at the marina in Corpus Christi. It was one of the scheduled events at the Texas International Boat Show. The show itself had a few less big yachts than the past two years, but it was still a great show, with lots and lots of boats and all things boating to look at. Lots of food and beverages too....plus classic cars and custom motorcycles.

I went to watch the tri hulls. Here's a few pics to start with. Names later...but whoever wants to jump in first and list the names and comments....go ahead. The Lexington "the blue ghost" is in the background where the boats are heading up to form up for the start. It was one of the most decorated carriers in WWII, but it is not very well known. It has some interesting stuff aboard if you ever get down this way you might want to check it out. Dockside from the Lexington is the Texas National Aquarium.
