Is anyone on Sailnet planning to attend Strictly Sail Chicago next weekend? I'll be there and will be hanging out in the booths for Northern Breezes Sailing School and the Great Lakes Singlehanded Society. Stop by and say hello!

Yup, I'll be there on Friday and Saturday. Looks like a good line-up of seminars...I can't wait!

'Admiral' Lynn and I will be there Friday. Our 100 ton classes start on Sat so must be home.

We have two buses hauling sailors from Milwaukee and South Shore Yacht Clubs to the show on Saturday.

Hey Guys. It's been a while.
FYI, there will be a group of sailors gathering at the Billy Goat Tavern (on the pier, not the original Billy Goat) at around 6:00 on Friday evening.
We have been doing this for three years now.
I know things have changed since we originated this way back when, but I hope that we can put that behind us and enjoy each others company.
It's an open invitaion; of course its an open invitation, it's a public bar.
Hope to see you all at the Billy Goat; 6:00 Friday evening.
Just look for an overweight Fat Bald guy; thats me.
regards,
TK

Tim,

I wish I could make it -- it would be great to catch-up with you. Say hi to the gang for me, particularly Guy, whose wit is missed around here. - John

Thanks John.
I sincerely appreciate the sentiments.
We have a lot of catching up to do.

I'll be there tomorrow with my 4-year-old. It's our third year going together, she really enjoys it.

Her nickname is "Bug" so I snapped this when we were there last year.

WOW what a day! Can't believe the stuff that went on at the Billy Goat. Sorry you missed it!
