(Race) Northwest Harvest Benefit Race

[artbyjody]

Where: Shilshole Bay Beach Club

When: Sept 27, 2008 - (Sat)

Main goal: you must contribute one pound of canned food per foot of boat length (deposited at Shilshole Bay Beach Club parking lot on the day of race).

As every one knows - with the financial crunches going around in the market it is easy to see how much food banks are effected. This is a great time to combine sailing and donate to a good cause that is local and can help others.

"Hello Gorgeous" will be on the hard but we will be crewing on Marty's boat.

Hope to see you guys and gals out there...

Thats gonna be a bummer - but so far this summer those predictions have not been so accurate so hold out some hope - but keep in mind you'll have a AFOC windbag onboard. I can probably generate our own breeze if I tell some of the stories that I have written...

[blt2ski]

Got Amoretto to shilshoal, had winds in the 12-18 range! Speeds in the 6+ range with main and spin up! With just KT and I sailing. Not bad for light winds predicted!! I was going to motor, then got out of the marina, and said screw this!

Jody, on H dock, about 15 slips past were I was last spring, same side of the dock. One of the last finger piers.
