CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2004 TOURNAMENT WINNERS!
June 22-27, 2004

MAGNIFICENT BLUE PERPETUAL TROPHY
sponsored by Galati Yacht Sales and Viking Yachts
Annie Girl, a 62' Resmondo , has won this year's honored placement on the Magnificent Blue Perpetual Trophy. Annie Girl won with 1000.0 points: John Stokes released two blue marlin and Tammy Jackson released one white marlin. Anne Stokes also released a blue marlin but was not awarded points since the release could not be video verified due to a hardware glitch with the camera. Congratulations to the Annie Girl on an outstanding release effort!

2004 EARLY BIRD WINNER
How do you define "luck"? This year's Early Bird winner is Steve Bozeman on the Restitution III. The Restitution III was the top team in the inaugural ECBC and got lots of trophies, but no cash. For winning the drawing, Steve got his $5,000 entry fee returned at the Awards Presentation.
