out

Mike was asking abt the schedule b/c we are trying to arrange pick up of three Vipers on a weekend you guys have your racing going on. It'll be a good second day of "shake down" sailing before heading back north. We'll be glad to help with the expense of running a few races and some "social" time afterward (for serious performance reviews, of course).

We do not know the exact dates that we may be there, but it'd be great to see all you guys for a few days. All sailors, of course... even if you are sailing F18 now (haha...... it is a joke compadre).

Tom, my advice would be to get with Robbie Daniel, find out when the new Vipers will definately be there, have him talk with the club about scheduling a Saturday race and then advertise it here so we can all come. A month's notice would be nice but I understand if that much time is not available but I think if there are going to be a bunch of new boats, most of us will make every effort to come race for a day.

Will do. We just didn't want to plan a pick up on a weekend that was not a scheduled Saturday race weekend for you guys. We will try to work it out with Fun in the Sun and GYC.

Are you kidding?!? Mr. Romantic here has probably blocked off the entire week of Feb 14th to sit and watch DVD of "Twilight", "Beaches" and other chick-flicks while he draws smiley faces on his spouse's feet.

Don't let him fool you.... He's the "Man with a plan - a Flight plan, that is..."


You don't get to live to his age and still sail boats by NOT being romantic...

Have you eaten the horses yet?

You have leaned well young grasshopper. For instance, yesterday was Mamma's Birthday, I got the flowers, the dinner, the bottle of wine, and I was with her on the couch last night watching Sleepless in Seattle, no sh!t. Then, when we got in bed, I rubbed her all over with lotion. Then I slipped in my big...request to go to Tradewinds, and she said yes! Got to keep mamma happy!

I just hope she remembers that -yes- part.

MMmmm, Quarter Horse, tases just like chicken.

Last race of the year, Saturday December 20.

What about Jan, Feb and March? Thanks.

Tim,
We are in December, aren't we?

Umm, I think so, but what I'm trying to do here is...wait for it...plan ahead. Telling me there is a race -after- I bid my schedule is a sure bet I won't get that day off. Like Dec. 20th, I'll be working, I didn't know there was going to be a race then back on Nov. 8th, when I had to bid my Dec. schedule.

So Pete, or who ever else was there, how was the racing yesterday? I'm in Tokyo at the hotel right now, will be home tomorrow night, I hope...

I didn't make it. The website should have an update in a day or so.

Tiki,
When does the regular racing schedule start at GYC?

March maybe?

March I guess. I'm not sure the calendar is firmed up yet.
