I tried to get my local leaner club to let me come to their big dance Oct. 16 & 17. They said, "maybe next year", and allowed that it would be okay to come out and sail around with them but that I couldn't enter.

That Saturday will be a distance race in the Gulf (probably less than 40 miles)and bouys on Sunday. So I guess I'll got out and "sail around",(if I feel I can manager a whole 40 miles in one day).

If any one wants to come down and "sail around" let me know. I'd prefer crew in open water, but if you want to bring your boat, that's okay too. Access is a pita, but it's doable.

Oh! They did invite me to come pull strings for them. Nice folks.
