Alan: My check is in the mail. We are, as usual, looking forward to seeing eveyone and sailing. The Villages have always been an awsome place to sail. Can't wait until your party! Is the eternally beautiful Becky and your future son - in - law Ricky coming to town? HOPE SO!

Best,

No seeding races, brain not fully in gear when I wrote previous message. I'm working with Joe to sort out the initial A & B fleets. Still time to get your entries in, don't forget to email me if you are near the deadline.

I've got Rick's entry fee covered as part of his wedding gift.

Saturday mail collected and final list is here and it's looking like we are going to have a great and very competitive regatta. If you sent your entry and are not on the list email or call me asap. If you still want to come let me know and I'll see if I can squeeze you in but do not delay.

I will be asking Joe Walter to do the seeding so top 9 go in A and next 13 skippers in B as it looks like we will be running P&R with 22 entries.
Liz also needs numbers for Friday night party.

Kelli & I expect to be there if we can get patients to co-operate.

Gracias Senor. Which way does the lake face? It likes west does it not?

I would rather wonder why I won than to know exaclty why I lost.

Sorry folks, poor Internet connection has made for a hard time posting the results.

All I can tell you for day one is this:
1. Joe Walter 51.4
2. Dick Hedderick 56.2
3. Jon Luscomb 74
4. Rick Gerry 76
5. Baron Bremer 89
6. Bob Greer 94

I wish I could tell you more. We will have the full results up by the end of the day.

Good breeze but not from the favored West direction. One fleet of 20 boats looked scary at first, but folks settled in and things went well for the most part. Alan Perkins did a great job of setting a course to give us at least a small windward beat, but it was mostly reaching. Good starts were important, but a well timed wind shift could save your race or wreck it.
