I just signed up myself... Charlie was not in, but the guy at Sail and Ski said the launch site is 13th st South Surfside Beach..... (the earlier posting said 17th St S, but I could not find that on the Google maps since it only went to 16th)

As for hotel... I'm using Priceline. I just came back from Busch Gardens with the family and got a room at the Courtyard Marriott for $50 /night. Normal rates were $150.

I figure I don't need a room on the water, I'll see enough of it during the day.

Any H16s going... Loyd can't make it. My daughter would like to do it with me on the H16, but I would rather do this event on the F18... Not sure she is ready for the spin in the ocean, so I may be looking for a crew.

I signed up today as well as a single-handed H16.

One more single handed 16.

I signed 7 Nacra 20's in for the race.

I'm registered and JD Soloman and his son will be there on a 16. It may be the spin 16 but probably not. Charlie is still working out details. This is a true beach festival that is shaping up. There will be a surf comp, kite boarding, kayaks, paddle boards and lots of spectators. Great exposure for cat sailing! Family and friends should come and support it if possible. It won't be boring for the beach crew like most races are. Contact Sail and Ski 843-626-7245.

Beach festival?

The TVS tent will be coming then. We'll have to see about the entourage.

I got my crew worked out... I'll be there on the F18. Here is the latest email that went out earlier today.

Thanks!

Denise Gulledge Wahl

those dates can't be right...the 14th is a Friday.

Yeah.. typo
Aug 15-16 is correct

Are there any spin boats that need crew? Ed

I might; not sure yet. Would you be coming from Maryland?

Yes, I'll be coming from MD. I have family in Myrtle, in fact I'm going down there this weekend. I might be able to come up with some housing for the regatta depending on who's home and who's not at the time. How long of a drive is it from ATL? Ed

its about a 6 hour drive from ATL to Myrtle.

Well it is from my house anyways.

6 Hrs? Nice. Don't even need to stop and pee.

And here I thought you were ~old~.
