Last round of photos from the 2009 Orange Cup Regatta at Lakeland, FL. The 2nd photo is of Don Eldredge, patriarch of the Eldredge Racing Team and a long time friend.

Well Frank, I hope we posted enough photos from today to make you a happy guy tonight. Hang in there, tax season will be over before you know it.

Paul & Diane - Sorry I missed you guys this weekend!

Lakeland is always a challenge to try to get good racing shots. They have to set up the course so far out in order to be in deep enough water to be safe.

There were several professional photographers there giving me a severe case of lens envy and left me feeling like I brought a peashooter to a gunfight. Needless to say, most of my pics were taken very close to shore........

Cool to see everyone pulling together...weather looked great, when I get older, maybe I could take some time off and go to Lakeland!
