Around Vashon Race next weekend! DEC 6th

JUst wanted to see how many sailnetters are going. We will be there, I am sure Marty will be.

Should be an interesting race and personally I prefer the distance versus the mark to mark races! I think we have our crew line-up solidified thanks to the HG website and Tony volunteering to lend his expertise (hope Kirk comes as well). I'll be arriving in Tacoma - Friday night, so if any of your guys want to do a social - my boat will be ready for guests...I hear they throw a great party on Friday night as well - so we can do that as well....

As far as I know - Slingshot (Grady), & Amoretto (Marty) will be there... Think I will have two sailnetters onboard for this one..

How about you David - you and your daughter going? BTW Charlie - if you want a break on working on the maintenance schedule - more than welcome to crew on HG or Marty's boat I imagine...

I still have to call the TYC - anyone know what time the race actually starts? I have my crew showing up by nine assuming its a 10:00 start....

Jody,

You'd better have crew there an hour earlier, as first gun is 0900, with a 13 hr time limit. Along with a possible shortening of the course at the north end if the wind is a bit on the low side!

Thanks will get that changed! They didn't state that on the site - kinda poorly done but thats local knowledge ! Thanks...

I had that on an application mailed to me.

You might also check out the southsoundseries.com website, at least that might be the website. The TYC website has a link. IIRC the times etc for all four races are at that site, with directions etc.

Southern Sound Series

That should get you to the info you need, hopefully this posts before I go bye bye by battery dieing, or service getting lost!

So did you get signed up? I sent my check registration last saturday.

Now that I am home a day early, will head down and clean her up and out a bit for the trip down tomorrow. Funny how the weather forcast is slightly different around the sound. Tacoma has patchy fog for tomorrow, no fog listed for here in edmonds!

Howdy:

I just flew in from Charlotte, and boy are my arms tired...

Nope, we won't be participating... Too much stuff to catch up on.

Good luck!
