Ok, you've got me scratching my head. But then having just turned 66, that is not unusual. If you are wondering, the Jupiter OSS Tropic Thunder race has indeed cancelled, but OFF2009 is a definate GO!!!! Like Jim Hauser has said to me all along. Tropic Thunder is a race. OFF2009 is a party. The intent to partner OFF with OSS was good, but not necessary. I don't yet know who will attend OFF2009, but that should start coming into focus over the next month or two. I hesitate to publicly announce names yet, but the "forum threads" are revealing. Additionally, I have received some e-mails and had some phone conversations..... BUT, back to our initial "conversation", sometimes my brain just empties out and I find it best to not talk or write when the grey matter is absent. However, my greatest entertainment is watching you and Willabee beat each other up on the Forums! Best Regards from one Old Fart to Another - Steve

Into each life a little rain must fall, but when i signed up with mercury, i got the whole tempest with willa. And 40 years on it's still coming down.
Forget the absence of grey matter-----it's when you worry about it the trouble starts. Offs rule ok !!!!!!

Popeyes Pepsi Challenger #19
I just found this photo in my filing cabinet. I had forgotten that I even had it. This boat will be very familiar to many of you, however not the number or name. 50' aluminum (aluminium for Jackie) Cougar catamaran, 4 inboards on 4 outdrives. My brother Bill, Al Copeland, and Stan Ware dominated offshore for a couple of years with this machine. Initially it was named "Popeyes Pepsi Special" with #19. After winning national championship the number changed to #1. Also Popeyes Chicken restaurants changed from Pepsi products to Coke products, the name was changed to "Popeyes Diet Coke. I was with Bill when he took possesion of the boat from Brownie. Brownie told me, "Steve, this boat is going to make your brother famous". I rode in the boat once in Sarasota when it was in race rig, and saw 118mph on the speedo. I think it eventually ran around 130mph in straightaway rig. Not too bad for the mid 1980's. Bill and Al are both gone now, but Stan Ware is still very actively racing offshore. I don't remember, or never did know, as much about the boat as I would like to have known about it. Hopefully Stan will come aboard and add details. As to the picture, note the flat attitude with bottom and props well out of the water. Bill told me they would pull up next to a 30-40 foot boat and look over at the guys getting the snot beat out of themselves while he was running along as smooth as silk. - Steve Sirois
