Are you Spring Fever ready!?

Long range forecast is for wind Friday and Saturday... Freaking perfect!

Is it time to leave yet!?

After Dunedin tomorrow I will head up on Monday. Hopefully we don't wreck the boat as bad as usual! Of course I will spend a few days at home for a change. Maybe even get some work done. Then head on up Thurday morning.

Hope that holds.
I'd like to go Wed. but I haven't heard back from Mr Ernie if that's Ok or not.
See ya there,
Todd
p.s. Jack ,you make up your mind on the new boat decisions,yet?

Probably an A-Cat but still haven't ruled out F16. I do have a buyer for the H16 so that might speed things up slightly.

I'm sure Wed will be fine. I'll be there wed.

Can't get there till Thursday, and my crew can't sail on Friday so if anyone is there that wants a ride on a N20 on Friday let me know.

We will be there Thurs to rig and play. Jack-let us know if you want to try out the Blade. I'll crew or you can crew for Oley and see what you think. Another F16 in the area would be great!!!

Thanks guys. I sailed with Timbo a few weeks ago and Matt let Barbie and me take the Falcon for a spin. Now the real issue is whether the ease of rigging an A-Cat outweighs the versatility of the F16.

You're more than welcome to rig my a-cat for me at the next regatta!

I'll rig it for you Jake. I'll do a Good job.

sail it this weekend and i will rig it!

sorry - I would really like to but the 20 needs a rigging shakedown before the Tybee.

Plus he wants to sail against the cool people :P

Right Jake?

Hi guys, I'll be bringing "Frank the Tank" to Spring Fever, but would love to crew on a spinnaker boat, since I'm on the marker for a spin boat and would like to pick up some skills from the masters

I would be available to crew all weekend, if I'm needed I will not sail my boat.

Bjorn

Bjorn, you're hired. You'll sail with me Friday.

Although, I'm no Master

Being a master is relative, to me you are..........for now

Even a blind rat finds the cheese once in a while.

OK, so I'm needed Friday, anyone need a hand Saturday Sunday? If I have a full schedule I might not even tow Frank at all...

steaks on the grill thursday night.....i got the grill and the seasoning, somebody bring the A1

the firewood for the campfire is taken care of, I'll bring some hickory if needed for the grill. . . . just picked up some fatass ribeyes. no need for A1 on a good chunk of Angus!

Chris may need crew if he flips too many times on Friday

Yeah, you guys were able to flip last year with no wind at all

That's what cheeseburger power does for you.

General Electric number 2, will you save me a tent spot near the POWER?

. . . promise not to blow the circuit breaker?

when I plug my curling iron and blow dryer up, I cant make any promises

You left the space heater and coffee maker off your list.

I'll see what I can do.

"You left the space heater and coffee maker off your list."

You can see where his priorities are.

Im bringing my 1972 Coleman Stove for the Cafe Con leche, and Im not sure if the electric blanket or space heater draw more juice, maybe you electrical types could answer that one.

Heck
Don't get the Engineers to Whip out their Sliderules and figger out the elec needs. Just Plug 'er in till she blows, then Send Todd into the box with a Butter knife.
Rule #2, when decisions have to be made just unplug anything Sam Evans has and blame it on General Electric.

All this talk of Spring Fever and getting wet makes me think of my little spill a few years ago

you guys know that it SNOWED here this morning?

effin incredible.

Definitely ready for SF.

That's the way to give everyone incentive to come to Spring Fever. Good job.




This weekend is looking to be sunny, around 70 degrees, and with lows in the 40's...possibility of thunderstorms early on Friday but that should mean some wind in the air. and I'm not making that up.

Jake. Like anyone else interested in coming, I'm very aware of the beautiful forecast for the weekend.

Sheesh.

+1 , That boy'll never be a politician.

Dave,
I've got the stove in the Rumvegnuven van also. I'll bring all my cafe con leche' mess too.I'll be running around like a jackhammer with the shakes.
Tawd

Mark, you salvaging for lost ships on the bottom?

I went thru the old SF results pages this morning, interesting how the boat classes have "evolved" over the years. You can really see a trend in boats, and when a class gets behind a regatta.

You see, the problem I have is sticking the metal object into the breaker box whilst feeling for an electric breaker to shove back into the right position....But I agree, the butter knife did work the best!

I'm out of here in two hours! And I am so freaking ready!

Hey Sam, ya think that maybe, just maybe, you try NOT to put your ten man tent UNDERNEATH the pavilion, where everyone meets!!!!

We'll wait 'til he's asleep and put it where we want.He sleeps in his van anyway.
Tawd

You know those scenes in the Movies where You wake up and your tent is floating in the middle of the lake?
Wonder if You can Float a Van?

Wait, do what? We have to trip over that thing all weekend and he doesn't even use it?

So, so close to leaving. 20 hours to be exact. Ready to play.

I think Todd is Ready!!

Alright I am not going to miss this one.Packing up right now . Missed the Hartwell race because of a unplanned root canal. Will anyone have a course sticker?-thomas

Usually have them on the Registration Table for a buck.
Buy one for each side of the boom
CARY

Are you bringing the rest of the Wilmington crowd with you Thomas?

No .Just me for this one. You and Devon will be there right?

Thomas, you rolling the 16 uni or bringing the 18 and crew? Have you ever gotten your spin set-up running? Give me a ring some time, want to get your way this spring for at least a weekend.
Later, Michael

Wind forecast, looks like Lake Hartwell is in a hole.

Attachment 1, Friday 2pm
Attachment 2, Saturday 2pm
Attachment 3, Sunday 2pm

No racing today! Storms moving thru the area ... and absolutely zero wind.

P.S. Nigel says that he ABSOLUTELY will not run out of RUM this weekend! Wagers are taking place now ... especially since we get to start earlier!!

Anyone off the water yet? How was the party?
