Hey, I actually got the weekend off! April 18-19. I'll be there as Uni, who else is definately coming and in what configuration? See ya there!

And Robi, save me a spot on the floor please! Thanks. Most likely come over early Saturday, but will keep begging mamma for a Friday release...

Me. Uni.

No problem Tim, so far its You and Arie and (crew?)

Plenty of room left. Bring some poker money cause Dave already committed to playing.

You better tell your momma she aint takin my lunch money again!

Thanks Robi. I'm not worried about Dave, 'cause I can feed him rum until I start winning, but your mom won't be there, will she? I don't know if I can afford that!

Two Blades from the land of Mary. Both Uni.

Two Blades from Chattanooga.

Ed-you all need to swing by SF on the way down-we have 5 16's so far!!!!!

Sounds like we could have lots of Uni's, maybe more than Sloops. Wow. I'm counting Matt/Gina, the local Viper, Joanna's two, as sloops, any other of the new Vipers coming down? Tom from BHM?

One is uni and the other sloop. I am hoping Andy, Mike, and Tom will be there.

Any of you folks plan on sailing friday? I am taking my boat from the yacht club to the beach and wouldnt mind some practice racing starts etc. I plan on being at the beach no later than 3pm.

I think Terry is in as uni as well. Seth will be there, not sure if uni or sloop.

As much as I'm into saturation sailing I just can't make it happen for SF and GYC back to back. Ed

I might be able to make it, but I'm not too sure yet. It'll be at the last minute, that's for sure.

I know I can't make SF, have family things that I need to do.

Mike

Awesome - we are really looking forward to this one.

5 boats at the GYC
3 other FL regulars (me, Timo, t-back)
2 MD
2 TN

Other firm rumours

Cab, tshan, 1 IL

If we can get the new Viper guys to show, and a couple of the other fairly close guys. There are boats in Cocoa, Jacksonville and 2 more at least in the panhandle. We could get 20 F16s on the line.

Matt

It looks like there were 10 F17s at their midwinters. It would be too cool to double their numbers!

That would also give us the largest fleet.

One thing we need to think about. I believe the NOR specifys 15 boats for an independant start, but wouldn't it be better to keep the spin boats together? There will probably be two I-20s, maybe more. No idea what the F18s want to do.

In (1-up)

Be forewarned that I'm partially blind in my right hemisperical vision...so STAY CLEAR of 703.

You've be warned!

OH--that is good to know! I'll keep that in mind for Spring Fever also.

Pete. How can you expect to get so many F-16s to this event? Aren't they just a fad? Ed

I dunno, you'll have to ask Matt! But, we have 8 boats registered and 3 locals who are 99% sure. My 'rithmetic makes that 11!

Not bad for a fad!! Looking forward to getting down there. Ed

Yes, we be warned. Does clear ahead count!
