What's the side bet on who wins UNI?

Not that I will be first(probably last) or anything, but I'm willing to throw in a few bucks for something...

"Gambling is illegal at Bushwood sir!"

Name that movie.

Are we going to pay out in beer or real money? 'Cause I won't have any real money left by then, having spent it all on beer and rum.

Tim, my boat went up north to South Carolina. As far as where she is today I have no idea.

The guy you speak of from Cocoa, is Paul. He purchased The Chuck's Taipan a few years ago. As far as him coming I have no idea. Last here he did come, but this year I dunno.

we don't have to do money, but some type of trophy, maybe a fifth of Rum, beer, Scotch......

I might bring something as the trophy.

No guesses on the movie quote?


Here's a hint:

Can't see that, I'm at work...

I guess you'll have to watch it when you get home.

A fifth of beer??? Don't you know betting on a weather driven event is bad karma?

Timbo - Ohh, you get a free bowl of soup with that hat?.....Looks good on you though.


Robi, last I heard your boat was in Jacksonville. I saw Legrands out at Kelly park today, but heard they were still not going to race. Last I heard Paul was out also event though he claimed to have a blast last year. THE chuck is sitting at hme, somebody could get him to push Paul, or at least come on his 18 and there could be 3 more.

Sorry Matt, but I am afraid of the consequences of pushing The Chuck. No one dares push the Chuck, if you touch him, you never did! He let his body get in contact with you!

I was just out practicing, man have I gotten rusty! No swimming but a couple of very ugly gybes and take downs! I think I've got it sorted out but I had forgotten how much work it is doing it alone! No wind all day but at about 6pm the east coast sea breeze finally came in so I went out for an hour. The forecast for tomorrow is even lighter, crap.

Im going out tom, suppose to be roughly 15 at GYC. You should come over to play TIM.

That would be Caddyshack.

I'd like to but it would take me 2 hours to unrig and put the boat on the trailer, 2 more hours to drive over, 2 more to rig it up...6 hours before I get it in the water, and I have a back yard full of water. Oh, and then I'd have to do it all backwards to get home. And I have things that have to get done here with the wife and kids, if I am going to be -allowed- to go racing next weekend. So I'll stay here and hope for the best.

WOW, 2 hours to unrig a unirigged f16? damn I am glad I got a F18 then 45 mins max for me from trailer to water. I am telling you, these F18s are so much easier to rig up!

LOL; I think Timbo is trying to make a case for not going.

I can do it in 50 mins SINGLE handed; I know Anne and Paul have done trailer to water in 30 mins.

I can do it much faster but I don't like to rush. I have to stop several times and open another beer.

Just saw the weather report, now they are saying 10-15 here so I'll get back out.

I will be uni, as Mike said. I hope to be on the beach by 3:00 PM Friday for a quick rig and twilight sail before the festivities begin.

It can take me a pretty long time to rig, if I remove all the wires and spin halyard from the mast for long road trips. Not having a crew to help makes it a little longer too ... and of course the "occasional" beer break.

God bless me if I have to try to figure out how to add the jib stuff back :-)

17 boats on the pre-registered list.

Robi - did you confirm that an event photographer is going to be there? I'd hate to miss having a lot of pics from this regatta with such a good turnout. I could probably lure one to town for a free hotel room.

I echo the thanks for your efforts.

The photographer will not be there. He is deploying and will not be able to attend the event. I asked him to burn the photos from last year on cdroms and that I can sell them for him. Now its a matter of him doing it, seems like he is a procrastinator and leaves things for last minute. He had to know about his deployment with more than 30 days notice and he just informed me this two days ago, which is roughly a week and a half before the event. I will no longer invite him and let the Yacht Club worry about those things.

Any of you guys have Roy Laughlin's telephone or email? I don't know where he's been lately, he used to come and take pictures at all the local regattas, he did the Alter Cup when the Blades were used two years ago. But I havn't seen him since. Any of you east coasters know how to get in touch and see if he can do it?
