I'm with Todd on this, my boat and skipper will be there with a different crew as I simply don't have the time to go to a MONDAY - FRIDAY regatta in mid august (seriously, why not Thursday - Sunday, let me worry about days off for travel).

Now the Can nationals, I'll be there again, Todd?

I realize southern fleets are looking for stuff to do in the summer, much like us northerners are looking to Florida in the winter, but August is busy for anyone north of (and including) Savannah, whereas September / October (and maybe April / May) tend to work for most fleets for Nationals / North Americans.

Guess it just comes down to a lack of National / North American F18 unified regatta schedule, which is probably years away from happening.

K, I should stop venting, I'm just mad at myself for not being able to go ;-)
