Hey John and Sailing friends, I am not sure if I will be flying a spinnaker for the first race of Frostbite. Actually, I am not sure if my poor old boat will be ready to sail. But I am giving it my best college try. In any case, I'd like to take the handicap penalty for flying a spinnaker, just in case it all comes together. I like having the spinnaker option on the race course. I certainly couldn't have much better weather for painting repairs and working outdoors on the boat deck, but I think I'd rather be sailing than fixing. I hope other captains are taking advantage of this perfect sailing weekend. I hope to see everyone next weekend. Sincerely, George Tatum
