Who's going?

I've got a 40 oz bottle of Mount Gay Rum (bootie from C.F.I) that I could be convinced to bring down and share :-)

Mike.

You guys missed it!

Was a great regatta...A's, F18's, I20's & my T all started together (scored separately).
4 Races on Sat plus a distance race in light but buidling winds. Managed 2 third places, a fourth and a seventh. We lead "the black boat" most of the way during the distance race in ~14 kts (first time we've ever been ahead of them)...but they slipped past near the end in the flukey winds inside the bay while we were hunting for one of the marks.

Sunday saw 12-15 kts all day. We were right with the two top teams and pulled out 2 seconds places behind the black boat. On the last race, we were closing in on the lead up the last weather leg when the black boat pulled up lame...broke the eye strap on the main traveller and had to retire.

Overall, we came in 3rd.

Nice report Mike. How many more e-mails and pm's do I need to send you before you get back in touch with me? Wish I could have made the Border Run. It's a shame all the beach cats in it were from Az and not one from Ca. What's up with that?
