The more the merrier. I wont tell you not to show up. Come on over and hang out with us. You may be able to get out on a boat or two. I cannot guarantee you that, but if you can help with mark setting etc etc that is a definate plus.

Don't know how much crew training I'll be doing, but you can definitely take my boat for a spin.

As of today it is blowing around a steady 10 kts in South FL. The wind forecast for next couple of days aparently it is going to be windy and gusty. Hopefully this weather pattern can hold on until next weekend.

So far weather underground says that around 2pm thursday it is going to be 11mph and on friday it will be blowing 13mph.

Hopefully this forecast can hold on. Looks like it will be lots of fun.

Starting to load -up today! Cooler, bouy, "drill" book, what else?

Fun factor plus. Dont forget that stuff!

Looks like good weather, wind 5-10, little chance of rain, moderate cloud cover. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Bring a towel !

That always seem to be the part that I forget and that is a darn nuisance if you have gone swimming.

I am packing up my boat this afternoon and getting ready for a 3 hour drive north bound to Lake Jackson in Sebring FL. Wind forecast are favorable for tomorow around 1pm. I hope to see some familiar and new faces there. It is going to be TONS of fun.

Have a great weekend - BUT, Don't try to persuade Tim to buy another cat in the presence of "Her Indoors" <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I'm back home now, getting ready for the big event, I have two buoys, if you bring more that will help too. Be thinking about what you want to get accomplished and we can figure out how we want to set up the buoys. I figure do some drills for awhile then run a couple short races, but what ever you want to do is fine with me. Matt should be here on Saturday so he can answer questions about rig settings, etc.

Right now there is a light breeze out of the north but it's early. Wx man said there should be a big low north of us that will bring in a good nw breeze on Sunday.

Tim,

I need directions to your house from St. Pete.
I plan on coming early Saturday morning.

Seth, get onto rt. 27 via your favorite way (I don't know exactly where you are coming from) but once you get to 27 go south through Avon Park, then about 6-7 miles south of Avon Park when you first enter Sebring, get in the left hand lane and turn left onto the "Sebring Parkway" at the big intersection with an Albertsons grocery and strip mall on the left. Then go about 1.3 miles down the Sebring Parkway to Scenic drive, go right on Scenic. You will see the lake at the end of Scenic, which is only about 200 feet long. Scenic ends at Lakeview Drive, go left on Lakeview for about 1.5 miles, my house is on the right, after you go by the Faith Lutheran Church which is on the left side, my driveway is two hundred yards past the church but on the other side of the street (the lake side) Number on the house is 2127.

It comes up quickly and you really can't see it for the trees so slow down and get ready to stop and turn in as you go by the Lutheran Church, put your rt. blinker on. Drive around the house to the left out back to the beach. Call my cell if you get lost. 863-214-3735. See ya then. B

TW, it takes me about 1.5 hours to get to my house from the Tampa Fair Grounds/Ford Ampitheater if that is any help. From St. Pete you could either go south over the Skyway to 75 south or east on 60 to 75 south. I usually go south on 75 to the Sun City exit (rt. 674?) and go through Wimama to rt. 39, go south to rt. 62, then east to rt. 17, then south to rt. 64, then east to 27. There is no traffic and no stop lights that way. But lots of Luv Bugs!
