Spring Fever NOR

Spring Fever NOR is up....Make sure you pre-register! http://www.twinhulls.com/springfever2010/
A great regatta...Need to be there!

pre-registered.

Second day for pre-registration and there are 8 F18's on the board that is 40% of total pre-registration... suck it bit!@s

Bump, Get registered early to help Nigel plan. Look at the F18's go!

I'm trying to convince some New England boats to go down... i'm seriously considering it, especially if we can get a boat to double stack with and get more of our guys to go down.
Anything you guys can do to encourage / harass them feel free.

How about no snow, lots of food and drink. I also think some F18's might get measured.

Yep! I'm planning on being there all day Thursday, I'm coming in Wednesday night.

Ding can you set your spinnaker in the trees by where you set up as a caution sign so we know not to go that way?

I'll bet a handle of rum, that the southern F18's open a can of whupass on the northern F18's. And just to clarify who's who - we'll score the top ten boats as north-south and use Lake Hartwell as the north-south designator...

Well that doesn't count Mike since Dave is from North of Hartwell and you're from South of Hartwell. Either way you get to claim to be on the winning side :P

I could but you'd just ignore it and drive your boat into the trees anyway cause you be a punk!

I've got the boat at my house, so it counts as a southern boat.

He a Punk!!!

Why aren't you signed up Todd? Scared of the clay?

He's apparently afraid to face me on an a-cat.

I KNOW Tawd won't stand to be called out like that!

Why, Jake makes him his bitch every time on the ACats. Jake is just speaking the truth.

I'm doing the Admirals cup in Bokeelia the weekend before and it'll be too much back to back. There's a small possibility I'll do both but I doubt it.
Derek,
When are you gonna get on a spin boat? you can talk smack then.Also,it's about salt not clay.
Jake,
Why aren't you coming to the Admiral's cup? Lot's of competition.You Scared maybe?

Come on Todd, SF is just as much the party as the sailing. You know you don't want to miss the party! If your lucky, you'll get to see Jake sail across the lake in his pajamas with his beach wheels dragging behind the boat!

AGAIN

Tad, Where's my rum? Interest is gonna kill you.
I'm pretty sure Jake has NEVER beaten me on any of my boats, but we haven't faced off that many times either.'08 Tybee? If I'm wrong about this ,I'm sure he'll set me straight, and quickly.
If I did make it to SF that would be the main reason.

There is that. That was frickin' hilarious, especially when he told it.
Believe it or not I haven't had a beer or a mixed drink this year. Something is wrong with me.

yeah, and I'm still sore for a rematch. The only time we've been on the water on the same boat was Spring Fever when Karl and I spanked you and Phillip (not your boat...so I'll guess we'll excuse it) and the last Tybee where you beat me by 4 minutes overall (or was it 6?)!

I was planning on doing Admiral's Cup but I didn't realize it was the weekend just before Spring Fever. If I end up having to choose one over the other (very likely), it's going to be Spring Fever - and that probably applies to several of the local a-cat guys too. We also have the Pee Dee Classic the weekend before Admiral's Cup in Hartsville, SC...a fun low key way to kick off the racing season.

C'mon Jake and Tawd, I'm doing both Admiral's Cup and Spring Fever. If you can sail 500 miles, surely you can drive it..

It could happen, I'm just not committing,gonna play it by ear.

If yer skeered, just say yer skeered.

Tad said he was breaking out the mankini just for you.

I tell you what... You do Admiral's cup and I'll do Spring Fever. I could even possibly hook you up with some floor space or a driveway for your RV in Bokeelia.

YEAH!!

...

wait...


what?

A little different, you live like ..what... a 1/2 an hour from Hartwell.

That is NOT a selling point.

SOLD! I'm in. PM'd you about a possible double stack opportunity.

Karl,

I'm going to provide some advice that you should learn early...

My wife asked about Spring Fever and then GYC F16 Nationals the following weekend:

wife: "which one are you picking"
me: [responding quickly]: "I'm going to both"

No fuss, no muss. Kitchen pass for both events...AND...(Timbo read here) no quid pro quo!

Well, that wasn't Karl - that was me. And the limitation is of my own device due to the Kitchen remodel I had planned to be undertaking at that time. Lord knows Bonnie doesn't say much about me going to regattas - I do 18 to 20 every year.

I am willing to bet your better half does not peruse this forum. If she does you may find yourself attending neither.

That's a new tone.

Jake,

Understood that i was replying to your post...however .... you're already a lost soul.

Now ... Karl ... there's still hope

And for Beth [HI BETH!!] ... she'll probably be up for doing both too ... because she's very competitive!

EEXXXCCCCEEEELLLLLLLEEEEEENNNNNNTTTTTTT!!!!!!
Registered for Spring Fever.

Apologies to Jake...didn't read carefully that you'd had a remodelling job scheduled that precludes you from back-to-back regatta's.

Terry, I figured out what I need to start doing. I'll tell her I'm going on a 6 day trip to Africa, dress up in my monkey suit, pack all my sailing stuff in my roll-aboard, and just go out the front door like normal.

Hopefully she won't notice the boat following me to work...

The remodeling just went backburner...the gauntlet thrown. Bokelia AND spring fever it is. Bonnie may have to cook out of the RV from the back driveway for a little longer than planned!

[grinning] Jake, I knew you wore the cape in your avatar for a [good] reason! You da man!

77 boats registered. Almost twice as many A Cats as last year.

I know of a couple more coming that aren't on the list yet too.

Hey guys

I'll be swinging by at some point during the race but I can't make it for the regatta this year. See you guys soon.

Your presence is mandatory for the TVS Tybee meeting. You have no idea how many strings I've had to pull to get these few days off of work.

I'll be there for that Derek.

You have no idea how many of my strings have been pulled to keep me from attending.

I call BS! Where there's a will, there's a way...

Call BS all you like. It aint happening.

Someone's scared of the water and maybe having to put some effort in...I call BS.

Fine.

Maybe I wont show up at all.

What do you think about that?

y'all need to get a room or something.

FRIDAY, FRIDAY, FRIDAY!!!! Come one, come all. Sam the Sham vs. Tapeworm Tad in CIRCLE OF DEATH at the Nigel Pitt Coliseum. Kids' seats STILL just $5.

Doors open at 8, show starts at 8:30. Bring your $1's!

World record flip cup?

you kids with your undamaged livers....

Get a pass and show us how it's done!

no pass this year. Disney instead...

Hirams and Tradewinds are about all that's out there for now...

I'm just messing with you, and want an extra boat on the race course. I understand the time issues entirely. That being said we can still do the flip cup tournament...

Mike threw down a challenge.

He can take on Jake's moped down the hill at the campground hahah.
