42.904444 N; 88.008586 W | Karl,
Are you driving by Milwaukee for this, with a spot on your trailer, and a spot in your truck? (I'm defintiely a good driver- slow in the driveway)
This one has been on my bucket list for many a year.

Key Largo, FL and Put-in-Bay, ... | In case you did not notice (and most don't because they come straight to the Forum and bypass the Headline/Welcome Page) there is a link to NOR on that page. Just click on the logo in upper left corner or go to www.catsailor.com and you will see the NOR link. Preregistration would be nice. Trophies are ordered and almost ready. Wind will be the normal 15 mph with mildly lumpy seas on the ocean side and flat seas on the back side. Party Friday night.., Frank Moore is hopefully supplying more rum and there will plenty of beer at my house. Buttercup???? | | | Re: Steeplechase, who is going?

Clermont, FL, USA | I just completed a six month tour with a female skipper and a former member of the crew union and one of her favor things to say to me when I start whining about being tired, sore or I would ask where she put my oxygen bottle is "suck it up buttercup" so when Todd used the phrase it stuck a chord and I decided to just go with it. Another one of her favorites especially after a particularly difficult gate rounding is "come on grandpa get your sh!t together" it always made me chuckle.

Northfield Mn | Karl,

This one has been on my bucket list for many a year. Sorry Todd, I'm not driving down for Steeplechase.
I'm boatless.

Naples, FL | since ya'll have reduced the size of the control lines to that of fishing line/dental floss, I would suspect that doesn't exactly help the hands...
Where'd I put that 16:1 traveler setup?
PS I just checked and I DO have a 3:1 traveler (I think)

Clermont, FL, USA | Flights are booked. What's the deal with launch and stuff Rick? The NOR says we are on our own: VENUE
The venue will be up to you, either the Caribbean Club or Gilberts Motel just before the Jewfish Creek Bridge. At the Caribbean Club (There may be a launching fee of $50, if you can launch at all)
