Posts: 6,049 Sebring, Florida. | I was all set to go to this one, got the days off, mentioned it to my wife today when I got home from Tradewinds...nearly got a boot in the Nutz!
She said (screamed actually), "YOU JUST got home from a WEEK LONG VACATION IN THE KEYS WITHOUT ME, while I was WORKING ALL WEEK...and you think you are going to ANOTHER REGATTA??!!"
I said, "Well it's not until Feb. 4...
She, "WE are going to a WEDDING that day!!"
I had no idea, but her horses vet, whom I think I've actually seen twice in my life for about 10 minutes each time, is getting married on Feb. 4 and invited us (her really, but I have to go??) to his wedding.
I think I'll have to call him tonight, try to talk him out of getting married, and into racing with me at Charlotte instead!
My opening line, "Look at me, look at her, This could happen to you..."

I didn't put Charlotte Harbor on my schedule as I didn't think my skipper would want to go to another regatta so soon ... after all she's got other things in her life to do too -- right? Not a chance, on Sunday night at the dinner when everyone talked about Charlotte Harbor she looked at me and said: Her: "We ARE going to that one aren't we?" Me: "uhh, sure ... let me check my calendar"

Posts: 6,049 Sebring, Florida. | Pete, where, exactly, is the "Charlotte Beach Complex"? I was just reading the SI's for the regatta, looks like we set up there on Thursday afternoon, and register, and party Thursday night, then racing starts at 10am on Friday...so...what road is the beach complex on?
I have been trying to google it with no luck.

Debbie will have me chained to a power washer beginning in about an hour but I should be through by mid afternoon. I'll be humming "Ode to Joy" the entire time.

I wasn't sure if it was up there or way out at the mouth of the river.

Posts: 6,049 Sebring, Florida. | Thanks for the reminder Pete, I just did it.
Now, I have a question; I see there is a Knox Rodgers also registerd. Anyone know him?
Many years ago (25?) I met a Delta pilot on a layover who said he raced Snipes on Lake Lanier, just north of ATL. Could this be the same guy...or maybe his son? He was registered at Tradewinds but was a no-show.
