The NOR and entry forms are finally up on the association site. Hope you won't wait until the last minute to sign up but I know you probably will! I am still going to keep this site up to date as the entries come in.

We'll be at Monty's Friday evening for pizza and Saturday night we're going to The Torch for dinner. Still expecting a few more boats.

I hope your regatta is a great success and that everyone behaves like sportsman. I wish I could be there. I tried to fit it in to all I am doing, but it was just too much.

Where is Chuck Milliken? Seems to have been omitted from press standings today! Great day and lots of fun! Thanks RD and all nice volunteers! PG Group really knows how to put on a great show - even if the wind was a bit spooky at times. Thank you all!

Here is how it all ended. We only got in 3 races Sunday morning. It didn't make sense to drift around the pond dealing with the crazy shift, etc. so the event was called a little after 11:00, after just 3 heats.

A. Perkins 30
Hedderick 42
Luscomb 55
Ward 63.25
Gerhard 67
Ouimett 68
Obara 89
Kaighin 95
Gray 100
Millican 113
Steacy 123
Maiese 133
Hain 144
L. Perkins 153
Balaschak 168
Rutherford 176
Rrinke 179
Pierce 182
Ligon 215
Pardee 221 (didn't sail Sun.)

Congratulations to Alan and the other winners.

Very well run regatta. All skippers were gentlemen. Nice to sail with my good friends!
We even sent the fire ants to attack Alan Perkins, but he still won anyway. It was fun though to watch him jump around.....

I forgot to mention... really nice prizes:
