I just wanted to thank all the members of the Lake Hopatcong Yacht Club who graciously hosted their A cat event and fed and housed the racers. Specifically Fred and Ellie Steinbaum for taking Dan Berger and myself into their incredible home. This regatta is a must do for A catters.
While there I had the privilege of meeting "Doc" Stern a truly inspirational 90 year old who races A cats( and wins). Check this link.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
