Photos by Jeff Helmkamp copyright Helmkamp Photos.I don’t how many people stopped by the 13th annual Speed On The Water Key West Bash benefitting Samuel’s House last night. A few thousand is my best guess.And yet I stayed till the bitter end. I made it all the way to 10 p.m. I believe I heard the Hallelujah choir as I stepped into my Uber.OK, I was one of the hosts, though that’s never stopped me from bailing early before. At least a dozen friends including Jeremy Tschida of the Super Stock-class Wozencraft/TFR team expressed wonderment at my staying power.“I keep waiting for the Irish Goodbye,” Tschida said, then laughed.Note to Tschida? Waiting for an Irish Goodbye is a fool’s game. They just happen. Regardless.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=4TsDko_1GpehyES00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=4TsDko_1GpehyES00" width="1120" height="668" ></figure>Raising money for Samuel’s House is the driver behind the annual Speed On The Water Key West Bash.The Key West Bash is akin to an extended family reunion in the go-fast boating community during the past 13 years. That’s the main attraction for most folks. Yet the reason it happens is raising money for a nonprofit organization that provides a much-need service in its own community.I don’t have yet have a fundraising total yet. Best guess is that it will land in the $30,000 to $50,000 range.</div></body>
