Nice Chart Don.

There are now 21 sailors planning on the NOODs in San Francisco. Rich has been sent south and is not Bay Area. One sailor confirmed with me yesterday that he was going. 20 on the page and, at least, one more.

Got confirmation that we are launching off Crissy.

This weekend is coming together nicely.

For the F18 fleet - I will have the class scales on site for anyone that wishes to complete certification. Keep in mind that a certificate is required for entry at the North Americans in August, and also will be required for regional events (like the Western Area Championship) in 2011. Weighing is painless and pretty quick. Consider getting it out of the way in case you decide to become certified later.

And SoCal is coming with a can full o' whoop. Any takers for a SoCal v. NorCal challenge? Top four from each score toward points? Rum stakes?

Thanks very much to all who have labored to make this into a really fun event and something that is truly our first West Coast Championship.

John:

I know you do not care what side you are on...you just want a bet right? I will take the SoCal if you take the NorCal.

Later,
Dan

North or South it's still going to be Western Style!

Can't wait to see the Whoopass!

I'm thinking about having a pre-party **** hour at the parts trailer after sailing Sat . If I can get my act together, I've got a special treat for everyone and I'm going to need all hands on deck...Yes, you should be slightly worried.

Forecast for the SF NOOD is looking like it will be be nice.

Look for the milder stuff to extend deeper in to the latter part of the week than expected. But 8-13 knots will be really nice to race in, with three days of milder breeze to moderate the wave action.

pre-party, party? thats even better than pre-appetizer snacks...

So we are scheduling a "Fleet meeting" at the parts trailer before the party. I'm in!

Nice big tides going too. And the wind coming out of the east?
