I look forward to seeing you all. …

Our last race for the fall series at WVYC. We are ready to sail at a new level on Sunday. I know everyone is focussed on their position and communications which just could propel us into a "money" finish. Sorry about the early meeting time for this race BUT we do need a warmup for our positions and the start line is an hour away. As always pls give me a call if you have any questions and I will see you at 7;15 at the gate of HCM.
