Here’s some highlights. I was very interested to see the Palatine Snorkel, new to the show this year. Great weather and a fun time. Unfortunately the CFD Engine 10 Fox had a mechanical problem and had to be flatbedded home.

All the images and video can be seen here

This from Steve Redick:

It rained on us 90 percent of the show, but a good time was had by all. Nice to see a few new rigs and renew lots of friendships. Here is a selection of photos for your viewing … and a video … more coming
