Hello,

I've got crew lined up!! Yay! Boat is waxed and new trap hardware is en route. I'm pumped for the first time in a long time to go sailing.

Trying to find info on the course, all I can find is the 2009 NOR on Dave's personal webspace here:
http://home.comcast.net/~smalldog266/SCCA452009.pdf

Is that the right course? I know the start/finish is the right place I just didn't know if we were doing the same course or not.

Thanks!

That's the course Tad. The fleet captian sent me the NOR and the regatta flyer unfortunatly he released the regatta flyer before getting his wife's approval and he hasn't released version: "d@mnit Frank! Fix it" yet. I'll get the NOR posted tonight when I get home from work.

The long course is not engraved in stone and is very weather dependent. If it's cold the course will probably be a bit shorter. As you saw we have a short course version for those that would rather not do the full run. Keep in mind there are two bridges you have to go under on the way there and then again on the way back. They are very clearly marked but you still need to use caution when selecting the span to go through. A small tip, like politics, stay away from the extreme right or extreme left, that's where the nutters go.

Thanks Dave. I'll take the middle :P

Thankfully I don't sail a Supercat so I feel safe from bridges... plus - my mast is impervious to bridges - remember?

Sounds fun. When and where is this? Who is going?

Pete, its march 17th over at Pineda Park.

Here's the google maps location:

you guys need to announce more stuff outside your circle (as, I'm sure, do we). I'm planning to get out and travel to more regattas later this year and early next year and would like to hit some of the Florida stuff.

Jake, the 2012 events were added to the googledocs schedule... easy enough to figure out a schedule by looking at that

Yeah, you're the second complaint I've received. What makes you think that you weren't excluded on purpose? Do you think Tradewinds was pleasurable for me?

Thank you in advance.

hah. I'm happy if we just stop the competition at this point. What say ye?

Its too soon for an armistice. He hasn't even called you punk yet.

I sure hope he would be more creative than that....and I think he technically needs to beat me first before he can tag me with a derogatory nick name.

To be fair, "punk" is probably the pinnacle of his creative talents. Usually his insults consist of guttural sounds and lots of body scratching...

LOL! The prerace chatter is a fun and funny way to build up to a regatta don't ya think? There can be only one punk, there can never be another, long live the punk!

This was in reference to the fact that I'm currently two up on you...happy to hold it right here!

Yeah I saw it. You caught me a bit unprepared, can I have a moment please.

I see the flyer, but is there an NOR? Will you be using RRS?

Screw it, all you really need is green beer, open it up to Waves, and I'll try to convince my wife to let me go...

Mike

D@mnit you trapped me. Yes there will be an NOR, yes we will use the RRS. Are you going to make me say it?

The NOR is in the approval process and will be published later today or tomorrow.
