The Valentine's Day Regatta will be proudly hosted by the Palm Beach Gardens Model Yacht Squadron and held on February 16 & 17, 2013.

I can't Wait!

Trophies of unparalelled taste and distinction will be given to the top 4 in each fleet. In passed years we seemed to win over our competitors with our homemade gormet chile as prepared by Chef Jon of Chez EC12. On Sunday, we are asking that all be wearing RED shirts to obsearve the holiday ( Scott will we see you?) That is Observers, sailors and race staff.....The Racing format will be the Florida 2 fleet system ( A & B )

This regatta has always been considrered a "must do" on the Florida Circut. Lake Katherine is a fantasic venue and has given excellent sailing conditions and square courses consistantly. I am challenging some of the far north sailors who will be in the winter doldrums and looking quite pale to pack up, come on down and get some sun (especially those related to the RD with a black boat to show up! ) ! The Notice of Race has been posted on the Florida EC-12 website.

Happy Holiday!

Jon,

Definitely.

Two years ago I was the only person not wearing a red shirt.

Last year I thought red shirts were a tradition. NOT. I was the only person wearing a red shirt.

But Scott, you looked so good in Red.

Dog will be gone, I plan to be there, with gloves so I won't need 'em.
How 'bout it Dave Ramos, gonna make the mid winter??

(plastic water bottle for D Branning)

Jon: Elaine and I will be down for the Valentine's Day Regatta. On our way to RC Laser NA's in Marco Island the first weekend in March. Looking forward to applying the sunscreen and more Florida racing.

Great! Dave. Bring a red shirt.

Hmmmmm and no mention of those great Erie "hot dogs" ...
anyone interested here is a link to some great pictures from the Holiday Regatta ... http://ec12puntagorda2012.shutterfly.com/

Jon,

I just put my entry in the mail a day or two ago, hope to be making the trip down.

Have my red Jarliewear 88 shirt packed.

Kahle;I've got your red shirt,
Get down here;think you and yours are rooming with Skip Allen and his crew at my place.
Our house can handle it and are looking forward to a really fun group.
Might have to do a "Taco Party" if we get enough interest.

Black boat 82 is coming...... If anybody has a spare lift carrier I could borrow, please bring it along. I forgot mine in Michiigan. Need to borrow for both the PB and the Orlando regatta.... Can we go back to the outdoor bar on the river again?
Black Prince

Let you use my carrier for some relief on a LOT of cannolis!
You will enjoy Jon & Karens choices for evening fun.

Olly Olly in free, Olly Olly in free, calling all sailors, calling all sailors!!

Pack your cars and DRIVE SOUTH to Margaritaville and leave the doldrums of the slowest, grayist and most depressing time of year behind!

Time is passing fast and we need a solid head count for the Saturday night dinner. PLEASE send your entry checks in ASAP!
I am looking forward to seeing all of you and putting on another fantasic event. I have seen the trophies for both classes and they truly are of unparralleled taste and distinction.....chilie is slow cookin' in the pot and the deserts are home baked and sinful.

Best! and remember RED is the new BLACK

Friday Night there will be an informal gathering of sailor at the link below.

Are those hot girls in the happy hour photo going to be there? Just in case my wife is reading this, the answer is NO, wink wink.

It's the hottest Waterfront Restaurant/Bar in town right now.....I think the sailors would enjy the views.
