Readying for the Regatta

Jeff LaRue pinged us all with an e-mail reminder the other day of his mutual intention (along with that of Matt Thor) of attending the annual SubCommittee SubRegatta in Carmel, Indiana this summer. The idea, as stated in earlier posts, is to make some kind of presentation to the gathered faithful detailing the genesis, progress and current state of our beloved Wahoo Project.

He further put the specific call out to members to provide him with information on the history of the Wahoo (obviously Paul's thing); the research to provide accurate boat detailing (more goodies for Paul, but also for himself and others); the development of CAD models (step up to bat, Matt); cutting masters from wood (Anderson's expertise); mold-making and casting; etc.

It will obviously be a full plate of a presentation, and I wish I could be on hand to watch Jeff and Matt hold sway over their submersibly obsessed SubCommittee audience. When the word "PowerPoint" was later employed to describe the lecture's current level of intent -- not to mention the call for WWII Wahoo film footage -- I knew the topic would be treated with the comprehensive approach it truly merits. After all, this is Serious Business, and our girl deserves the best.

Knock 'em dead, guys.
