Nothing wrong with takin a break, it can be a good thing to do to kinda get your mind clear and prioritize. Besides, that "other" stuff sounds like some good eatin! Good luck.

It's so darn hot I decided to take summer as my "off" season and race 7-8 months of fall/winter/spring. That is when we have the best weather for racing anyhow. 150* track temps just don't excite me! Like you I have a boat also and have enjoyed the heck out of it this summer!! 6144286-IMG00139.jpg (72 downloads)
