It was another typical South Florida event that involved excuses, "equipment problems" and pretty much the standard Cat44 all-around bullshit!
It was the Conch cup, in which Cat44 was involved (as per usual, we have to keep our reputation!)
Unfortunately, Sebastian and I were unable to make it due to work issues, but it seems most of the active Cat44 members were there, including our esteemed Chairman, Dick Russell, who was hoping to win his SECOND cup this year!
Also showing up to defend his title was Mark Jones, who won the cup for the second year in a row, and shattered the other hopefuls dreams, but don't worry everyone, you'll get him next year!
