The Barton Memorial is one of Dunedin's oldest and best attended races. I've NEVER done well in it (tough competition and jinxed with bad luck) so I'm looking forward to another try.



I thought the "prickly pear" comment was pretty diplomatic. Every time I get involved with an organized event I think of the old Simon and Garfunkel song that says, "Orangutans are skeptical of changes in their cages and the zookeeper is kindly but he's dumb." People are a weird lot.



Terry Fondrick of TBCSI wrote to me and said, "As usual we are always receptive about any sailing ideas people want to do. If we can support a Cat Sailing event that would be great."



I'll try to make the July 19 TBCSI meeting to volunteer for RC duty.
