A big thank you to the whole gang at Stowe for another wonderful regatta. It's a shame the first weekend in June doesn't come around more often.

This was the most peaceful regatta that I can remember. The only protest was for more elbow room at the bar. Thanks for another great weekend.

The race commitee makes this show run like a Swiss watch!

Dave Brawner coined a phrase this week-end that really struck a nerve with many of us "away" Stowe sailors:
"You have been STOWED"i.e.you went went from hero to zero in about 2 minutes with a 90 degree wind shift.it happens.It's Stowe, prevailing SWNE wind.

Well, it seems as though my Dad's new boat proved to be a bit TOO new to compete in the GMR (had never been wet before Friday). Though he had to drop out, its NOT due to a lack of effort by the fleet to get him up and running. On his/our behalf I just wanted to thank the whole group for all of the assistance in troubleshooting, swapping out parts and offers of shoulders to cry on. Those that I remember include:

<ul><li>Brian J for the spare transmitter/receiver and electroniccs experimentation
</li><li>Gary M for the replacement masthead crane which saved Dad's rig after it lost a match with the conference room ceiling
</li><li>Ken S for the Aeroplate and general electronics assistance
</li><li>Countless others I'm sure Im forgetting for offering up spare parts and advice.
</li></ul>
As always, the EC12 fleet proved to be a solid group of guys even in light of the frustrations of being "Stowed" for 2 days straight! Thanks again, and we're hoping to have Dad competitive for Mystic. But, look out--for the 5-10 minutes of total sail time it got, it looked fast!

Usually tie beakers are decided by bullets.
I was not involved in scoring.
