Hello, who are these guys? Old guys modeling dad jeans? Ok, I’ll give you that, but who’s that holding the EC12 National Championship Trophy?
That’s 83 years young, Joe Cole, proud charter member of the Middle Atlantic Model Yacht Club. We just completed a lovely fall Sunday race day on that crappy little lake in Mt Laurel, New Jersey. Sixteen guys trying to beat Jamey Betz, current borrower of that clanging bell trophy, all shined up on Joe’s lap. We are a modest group of vagabonds who like to mix it up locally with a few national champions who own quite a few national championships. Mark Rinehart, who missed yesterday, was off practicing elsewhere. Beating these guys is better than the Eagles beating the Cowboys.
The bell is in a certain individual's blue van and eleven Mid Atlantic, Region 2 guys (of course, we packed our summer shorts) are on our way to the Nationals.
Congratulations, Jamey, for a great year and we are proud to be a fleet mate of yours. When the countdown timer goes off on Thursday morning, however, we’re bringing it!
