The Green Mountain is about two weeks away. We stay at the Commodores Inn and hosted by the owner Bruce Nourjian, EC12 #800. He provides everything including a 50 foot stroll from the breakfast table to the edge of the pond to a conference room to store your fully rigged boat or sleep with your boat if you consider bonding. I did that once and talked to her till I fell asleep. The result the next day was that she is a her. We get the lowest rate to anyone.
Stowe is a winter resort town and food is great everywhere, Ben and Jerry's original plant is down the street (Rt.100) and the people are...well, Vermont.
35 minutes north is Burlington on Lake Champlain and the city park docks for a venue that has bid for the 2009 NCR.
Charlie Berry (no EC12) and George Dean #829 are the Honchos at the pond, have a weird PR system that I do not understand and have been doing this for years. My first was 2000 at the NCR there.
The Green Mountain is like Century Cup, Wisteria Cup and Liberty Bell...you have to go because of the people that will be there. The National Champion will be there and national top tens from R1 and R2. I will be there to keep the fleet honest. You need to be there to know what this event means whether 5th or last.
