The Zhik Southern Area Winter Series kicks off this weekend in Eustis, FL with the WildCat Regatta. Come join us, it's a great group of people with no shortage of wildlife.

Good luck to all the Zhik Southern Area F18 Winter Series competitors.

The winter series makes a stop at the 2012 Charlotte Harbor Regatta, Feb. 2-5, 2012.

Find out what F18 Class prez David Ingram is talking about when he told us, "There is a distinct buzz on the beach about this event, not just within the F18 class but the Hobie 16 class as well."

Three days of racing, four nights of parties, low entry fee ($60 with early entry and US Sailing membership), low hotel rates, friendly volunteers.

If that doesn't convince you to Sail Charlotte Harbor, folks competing in the Tradewinds event in January in the Keys can take advantage of our free short-term storage before and after CHR. See what the buzz is about on Charlotte Harbor.

Next Up Charlotte Harbor.

Charlotte Harbor

Better bring your big boy diapers Dave, I'll be on a C2 for Charlotte Harbor.

Your own, or pulling strings for Robbie?

Pulling strings for Robbie.

I know, its gonna be me dragging him around the course, but it was a last minute thing... Tough to find a good skipper last minute. [/sarcasm]

Prepare yourself - Robbie is a delight to sail with and there is a lot you can learn by watching him. Great opportunity; GL and HF. ;-)

Are you still mad a me for disrespecting your truck? As insults go "big boy diapers" is pretty weak and over used, Ricky like if you will. Slow down think it through then pull the trigger. I know you can do it you have some very dark places in your heart. So show me some of that superior intellect you keep bragging about.

It makes my heart heavy to have to put a beat down on Robbie just because you're sailing with him. Oh well, sometimes things that make you feel bad have to be done.

You don't want to see the dark places ding.

You're going to get school'd by a borderline cripple and a retard, and you knows it!

Son of a b!tch! I was saving that one to use on you! I'm refering to myself not Mark so there is no need for one of you a$$holes to get cute.

Bwaaaahahahaha!

Spring Fever scoring will be used at Charlotte Harbor. Brian Gleason verified it with the event organizers last night.

We are probably looking at 10 F18's on the line based on the teams I've talked to this past week.

Possibly 2 from Sarasota
Cullum
Vandenover is trying to work it out
Casey is supposed to be there with the Cirrus R
Shafer is making noise about showing up
A new guy from the Lauderdale area is making noise about showing up (wants to check out hte Cirrus R)

Next Up Pensacola MidWinters

Pensacola MidWinters NOR

New Guy from Ft Lauderdale is still trying to clear previous engagements to start sailing more. Got my starter boat almost sorted out. Crew training going well... Trap and kite retrieval 101... Going to try to make it up to Space Coast on Sunday for the day. (Saturday was already spoken for)

Excellent, we look forward to meeting you.

Paul and I are possibly in for Pensacola with Kwyjiboat. How many we looking at right now?

Cheers,
Karl

Checking.
