Mark...Interesting that you are ALREADY making excuses for a finish outside the top 3! AND, blaming it on the wife....shameful. Look forward to seeing you all at WYCC. Laura and I need to get back over your way on our bike again.

When he announced the one-design class for the Freedom 23, he specified a crew of 2, one man, one significant other. He said he was tired of sailing around with a bunch of deck apes and besides, his wife "smelled better and was a lot more fun to sleep with". I'll be sailing with my wife, who is a novice sailor, but a great wife. Smells good, too! But, since your boat is already full, would you mind carrying my anchor, spare sails, stove, and provisions? See ya on the dock. From: Mark D'Etcheverry [mailto:mark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2011 7:51 AM To: j.wandling@xxxxxxxxxxx; WhiteShoal ('Gpsbug@Freelists.

She fears (rightfully so) that when "In Concert" drops you boys like a bad habit (while single-handed and weighted down with full water, fuel, and cruising gear) that I could very well drive all ya'll from the sport for good. Genuine caring soul, that Deborah. Like the old Geritol commercials used to say..."My Wife....I think I'll keep her".........

Eight boats are entered. Tranquility (Capt Tom Orlowski) will be committee boat. Starts will be determined by GPS time. Committee will monitor channel 71. There will be no signals from boat. 10:00 - Preparatory 10:05 - Warning 10:10 - First Start (Highest Rated Boat(s)) This will be a staggered start. I have calculated a start time based on handicap for each of two courses. Course A will be used if forecast winds are at least 8 knots. Course A starts with a line between the Committee boat and the R"2" at Blunt Point entrance to Deep Creek. From there, leave the G"1" Can near west of the James River Bridge to starboard and finish between Pagan River R"2" and the Pagan River G"3" marking the entrance to the Pagan River. Distance is 5.25 miles. Course B will be used if forecast is for less than 8 knots. Course B starts with a line between the Committee boat and the R"2" at Blunt Point entrance to Deep Creek. From there, finish between the Pagan River R"2" and the Pagan River G"3" marking the entrance to the Pagan River. Distance is 2.8 miles. Here are the start times for boats entered this far: (Also on website) In order to be counted, you must start within 10 minutes of your starting time. Finish will be boat for boat. There may not be a committee boat on station at the finish, so please e-mail me your finish position and the name of the boat finishing ahead of you (if any) and the name of the boat finishing behind you (if any). I look forward to racing with you all this year. For those planning to overnight at Warwick, I plan to arrive late afternoon/early evening. I have nice plaques for first, second, and third place boats. So good luck and good sailing. John
