On behalf of Kent Island OCC and ECORA, we would like to thank everyone who braved the frigid temps (it is May isn't it?!!) to come to Kent Island for the 2nd race in the 2003 point series. For the second race in the schedule, we had to alter the original course due to weather and water conditions, but despite the conditions, as always at Kent Island, we made the best of it.

The following are the results and we look forward to seeing everyone at the 3rd race in New Jersey.

Aloha,
Deb Hall,
KIOCC, President

On behalf of ECORA and also ourselves, Jim and I would like to both congratulate and thank everyone at MAPA for a great event.

Despite the adverse weather conditions (which we at Kent Island know all about) the secondary course allowed the event to be held successfully and everyone enjoyed a great day of racing.

To Freda, Ben and Elizabeth - great work on this one guys! You have it "GOING ON" down there and we can all take lessons from your enthusiasm! We look forward to many more fun races in Hampton!! Mahalo nui loa.

We hope to see everyone at the next OC1 series race in Kent Island on the 17th.

Aloha,
