I Wish I could be there. Spring Fever was the first place that Judy and I sailed together. I made the trek from Colorado for 4 years, and it is one of my favorite regatta's.

Nigel, Mr Ernie, and the rest of the crew do a fantastic job of promoting Catamaran Sailing without regard for who built your boat.

I made a great group of friends at that event, and treasure those friendships to this day. Cary, Dave, Jake, Toby, Bill & Katherine Cash, and many others.

I learned what WWDLD means, and met the DLW.

I'll share one of my most treasured memories from that event. One warm, moonlit evening, Jake got out his Sax, and someone else got out a guitar and gave us a private mini concert. The music floated out across the water to the opposite shore and bounced back, it was surreal and way too cool for words to really describe.

Judy was not with me that year, but as it was happening I had to call and try and share it with her too.
I will never forget that evening, and if you guys can get Jake to share his incredible musical talent with you, you are in for a real treat.

I will be trying to arrange my life so that I can be there next year. Tip a brewski for me this weekend, and know that I am with you in spirit. Long Live the A-Loop Gang

Here's hoping you have a great turnout and a weekend of fantastic sailing.
