I forgot to mention that saturday august 19th we're having our annual race around Shelter Island. The race is run by the Southold Yacht Club and starts off the beach there in Southold Harbor between 10 and 11am. You can set your boat up at the yacht club and launch off the beach. It is approximately 25 miles and incorporates fair and foul currents, wind shadows from various points of land and all points of sail. I'm working on running a time warp distance race the next day so that sailors who come out get to race twice for one setup/breakdown/trailer adventure. Contact me at gildergove@optonline.net if you're interested and would like more details. Greg
