I have been in touch with Frank regarding his post (see below) and trying to combine a Nationals with this event (probably the week and weekend after since weekend prior is Labor Day).

Anybody (seriously) interested??

PS- I guess I'm treasurer now, and since that's the case and we had opted to join NAMSA as a group we ought to discuss some "dues" sometime?

W.F. (F 18HT) just sent me a note (see below) inviting us to have our Nationals with them in November at Rick's Place (Key Largo)- So that's another option-

Comments please??

W.F.'s post-

Kirk,



We have set our 2002 North Americans for 11/15-18 at Rick's Place in Key

Largo, Florida. Our membership is pleased to offer to coordinate hosting

your event at this event, as well. Please contact me if you are interested.



Sail Fast and Light,



W.F.

Both areas are great sailing. Ricks is a great place to sail with a big bay and beautiful clear water and that time of year usually has good wind.



Daytona and the Cocoa Beach area also offer excellent ocean racing while Cocoa Beach also has good sailing in the river. Being from the Florida I am ready to sail any of these venues!
