Posts: 3,293 Long Beach, California | WHICH of these teams will you be talking about tomorrow? Four more registrations came in - see the Revised Notice Board for more info. Let me clarify one point - I mentioned shirts and trophies are being ordered this week. I did not mean to imply that you will not get a pair of shirts with your entry. I do mean to imply that it might get mailed to you after the event if you are not registered when the shirt order goes in. We'll do another run if we absolutely have to, which is part of the reason for the late entry fee of $50. I cannot, however, do another run of trophies. SO! If you are not registered right now AND you think you might come in sixth AND you want a really cool trophy to take home, then you better get off your duff, fill out the form and fax it in. FURTHER! With no reservations at either of the host hotels, we have lost our block of rooms. That's a couple of hours of my life I'll never get back. Drop me a PM or an e-mail if you want some suggestions on places to stay.

Posts: 3,293 Long Beach, California | For those Johnny-come-latelys: The Golden Sails will still take reservations at the rate we had. It was the budget option at $89. I’d recommend the Queen Mary if you want something nice, but the $119 rate isn’t likely available – you can only try. The other option is the Pacific Inn – I have stayed there before and it is a little above average and not very far away – try http://www.pacificinn-sb.com. Another option is Oakwood Apartments – they have weekly rentals and are even closer. Try (562) 493-9700 or www.oakwood.com.

Edit: I'll be sailing with Scott Miller on a Tiger. I think Jeff Collins is also coming with his Tiger.
