It's amazing how tired you are at the end of a day - when you're really only raced a total of about 6 minutes.<br />Have fun shooting. You need a few collisions for some excitement!!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09789317365352929181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3603293883718966986.post-26045598670606007682011-05-05T09:06:58.421-07:002011-05-05T09:06:58.421-07:00Love the boats, they are so brightly painted.
