AJ,

That new rating for the Express really stinks. They have dropped it two years in a row. I don't understand it. I have already sent a formal complaint to Bob Curry, our representative. Sounds like you can use the H3 handicap too.

The 1/2 Round the Island is going to have to wait until next year. The county, out of some stoke of genius, decided they would pick May, June, and July to completely tear up and renovate the parking lot next to Juana's. The state park across the street isn't finished yet either. Needless to say, there is absolutely, not nearly enough parking there. For this year and this year only, we will have to run the White or Wheat Regatta out of Pensacola Beach. They are supposed to be posting a NOR and details on the Pensacola Beach Yacht Clud web site. http://www.pensacolabeach-yc.org/

Maybe by the time Juana's Regatta comes around in September, they'll have finished the parking area.

Hope you can make it.

See you soon.

Don
