Posts: 324 South Florida | I am trying hard to go. Just trying to work out the family logistics. I didn't see you on the list Robi. Did you register already? Are you doing the Bug light race next weekend? I'll be there with my wife.
First race on the Blade?

Posts: 324 South Florida | This is pretty much a straight shot South, through the Card Sound Bridge and then to the North end of Jewfish creek, right? Do you think I need a GPS or is it easily navigable by just going South?
I'll be sailing solo, so if anyone needs a crew or to crew I'm open for now. I'll be dropping off my registration tomorrow.
Let me know.

Posts: 324 South Florida | Both sustained injuries? or medical for the boat? heh! Sure thing Robi, if the spot's still open at race time you are welocme to come. Let me know.
Eric, sounds like a good argument to go out and buy one. It could be dangerous without one.

Posts: 324 South Florida | Darn Mary! I had almost convinced myself it was necessary. I even had a friend offer one and I said "no, I don't want to drop it in the water, should probably get one myself"... Now I don't get to buy one..........

Posts: 324 South Florida | Sorry Robi, spot taken. A friend confirmed a little while ago. Be glad to crew with you or have you crew with me in the future though.
Take care

Just let the guy get a GPS... every boy needs one these days. It is cheaper than a Porche.
