I know it's early, but I'm trying to get the interest up.

I know I and Andy Humpries are going to be there, Chris Amador, Tikipete/Pete, and who else?

I do know that there is another regatta on the eastern coast, but how many other F16's will be there? Think if we can get a few of the F16's in Florida to commit, that you guys would come down to play?

It's a VERY LAID back regatta, so if you are on the fence about going to a regatta or a first regatta, this is the one to go to.

There were 2 F16's there last year, let's try for 6-10 this year.


How about you?

I'm in. Debbie and I will be making it a long weekend, precisely because it is so laid back.

I'll be heading that way too.

Arrrrrrggggggg. Wedding weekend for my brother.

It is a good time regatta. I'd plan for few extra days. It is a great location and the racing is good. The laid back part is more about: do we start at 11:00 or 12:00?? The racing after the flag drops is legitimate. (sometimes laid back means no rules :), but not in this case).

It is not that far from Central FL. Oley/Joanna and Jody will probably be at Catfest in Charlotte.

I will be there, though not sure it will be on my blade or sailing with someone else

+1 for the Blade.

looks like I will be sailing solo on the Blade. will be my first time racing it solo (actually only 2nd time racing it at all!)

And I will have been there to see both!!

Okay, so I count:

PTP
Tiki
tback
CAB
MikeB
AndyH
TBD (Guest Appearance)

Current F16 Count: 7

Unless he has a conflict, I bet Steve will come over from Panama City on his Viper. We were working on Ollie/Joanna and Jody at Horne Island but I am not sure what they decided.

Well! Get back after them!

Who's sailing what configuration? I'll be uni.

UNI, maybe.

Mike

BUMP


I wished I was there now! I'll be sailing UNI.

No one has backed out yet, have they?

Still about 7?


I'll be getting there on Thursday and hopefully setting up late afternoon. I'll start the sailing on Friday.

Anyone else getting there Thursday?


Mike

Thursday, about dark thirty.

Pete, remember that you'll gain an hour as you cross the timezone somewhere west of Tallahassee.

I forgot all about that!

I will not be sailing my Blade cause I will be on the devil boat (I20) practicing a bit before the nationals.
BTW... boat for sale. looking to get a falcon next year.

We're leaving around 9. I'd expect to be into Navarre about 4:30 PM (with the adjusted time change).

Meet you at the Pagoda!

See ya there!

How did you end up with hulls that are newer than all of your sets of sails? ("F-16 VWM Blade -- 2008 Hulls. 2 spins/mains (05, 07).") Sounds like a potentially interesting story.
