The venue of the Tradewinds will not be the Elks Lodge. It is being planned to be back in Key Largo, based out of Gilberts.
Gilberts tore down the big barn and there is a lot of room there for lots of boats.

We had a lot of trouble at the Elks Lodge doing seminars in April -- they charged us a fortune to use the beach, didn't want to open the rest rooms, and got all sorts of flack from the Campers. In other words, we were treated as scum.
We canceled the second of the two seminars from the ELks and moved it to Gilberts.

The reason is the guy that invited us there in the first place is a sailor and now was demoted from the board of directors (or whatever) and a camper/RV lover guy took over.
THey were upset that we held meetings in the Chickee Hut on the beach -- we were blocking their view.

hey Arbo,

Did you get out on Tuesday? I'm completely swamped with work and meetings so I couldn't have gone out this last Tuesday anyway. Thanks for the invite, though. I bet weekdays on the bay are the best since you probably don't have as many PWC's to dodge. One of these days I promise to meet up with you.

Take care

Yeah, got out on Tuesday! The wind was fantastic! We went out 3 up, 500 lbs + and still flew a hull for good distances. I took a newbie out, I think he wants a boat all of the sudden! We were passing power boats!
I think there are bouy races on the 17th.

When you folks go outthere, where do you usually launch from? The first beach after the toll on the Rickenbacher causeway? or the other side of the bridge where all the rental cats are at?

Yep, Wild Thing Buoy Races Saturday July 17th - Crew meeting 10:30. Are there alot of people on the beach on weekdays Arbo? My wife hates it there because my kids are small and they always fall and get scrapes on their knees from all the rocks and glass. I love it because the sailing is much easier than battling the waves in the ocean.
Robi, They meet on Hobie Beach, which is the beach where the Catamaran concession is but a little bit down the beach. Ive been there a couple of times in the winter and it was great. but in the summer, if you don't get there very early there is no way to get in. The locals are elbow to elbow thick (with a few gaps left for boom boxes ,of course.)

There where still a fair number of people there because school is out but nothimg like the weekend. The beach is not very clean but the sailing area is the best. I rate it an 8 on the sail o meter gauge.

Anybody need a NEWBIE crewmember? for that event? I have my own cat, but I have never raced her. I have already pitch poled, fliped you name I have done it. I would love to learn the ropes of cat racing, wich in the future is what I really want to do.

If anyone needs a crewmember let me know I am more than willing to learn.

954 559 1983 is my cell phone, name is Robi
