Posts: 235 | ...more staff would free up that one person with the kneepads and a smile to stay on top of calling... Greeeeeeeeeat. A good idea instead would be to post a complete blog roll on the website. I enjoyed Bonnie's comments, Dave Krantz' ESPN thing (2 million hits, did he say?), and Rick's reports -- the written stuff. I couldn't find the Moose-Burd blog until it was over (darn). And I missed out on the Pirates of Chesapeake too. The GPS stuff was incredible. A lot of the links I got from Seacats' site. I hope Great Texas does a blog roll as well as the other good things on Tybee's! Hint, hint, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, know what I mean, know what I mean? For anyone on a team who is on the fence about whether to blog or not, don't be doubtful. Your stuff will be read! IMO, the reason is that the audience is sailing people who love to hear the technical details. (Still hoping for a post on a failed spinnaker and recovery, for example?) This is what builds interest. In order to get interest, don't hide the blog lights under a basket, but put it on a blog roll! Then people like John better twitter. | | | Re: TYBEE 500 HOTLINE

Posts: 5,590 Naples, FL | that one person to stay on top of calling, tossing swag, calling again, writing releases, e-mailing, then making some calls. It would be like changing gears on a ten-speed for this event. Where's Herendeen? He seemed to be good with the 'schmoozing' and I see press releases he wrote up for SCCA. And having done the T500, he might have the energy to deal with the media...? Don't know about the kneepad thing, though. About the blog stuff... Yes, people who "know" read that stuff, but there really ought to be someone who takes those blog posts, digests them for the "regular" media outlets, and hands them press releases....

Posts: 1,459 Annapolis,MD | Good idea...let me describe where my spinnaker replacement cash just went....hmmmm 1996 Opti. Ok, take the Opti, saw it in half down the middle, add some sides along the cut for each half, a couple of aluminum beams, presto! A proper sailing craft for a young 'un... | | | Re: TYBEE 500 HOTLINE

Or check it out online - Spinsheet Magazine - click the link for June issue online, scroll through to pages 52-53. Check out the editorial (What the hull?) - we may just be turning Spinsheet into a multihull rag! | | | Re: TYBEE 500 HOTLINE
