There's no cell service for some reason around the club, so most people can't get calls in or out. I think that's put a damper on some of the normal chatter. Club has wi-fi, though, so now that boats are assembled and the fleet has arrived, I expect the smack to start simmering.

Committee has indicated the fleet needs to be at the boats at noon today - there will be practice at 1 PM or so. Nice breeze. REALLY nice club. I have always loved the way 10 identical boats look, all lined up and shiny-new.

I'm really excited to be here. I hear that the host has official coverage starting today.
