that sounds good, i will be there then and possibly the entire time. rosemary will have to see what's going on for her around work and whether or not she is pregnant by then, but i'm guessing we will see her for a long weekend.

cher is still under wraps. but the evil winter that darkened our door for an eternity is now an almost distant memory. i decided not to renew my membership at the QYC this year, for several reasons, but rosemary has promised that she will help me to launch cher at other locations accessible to boston. and stuart and i have tentative plans to meet up in connecticut for special tuning regattas.

we definitely need longer races, i'm not saying that's the only reason the winner of barney 2004 won, but that course was way too short!

what we really need is new t-shirts and hats.

but shouldn't this discussion be taking place on the blog???

o.k. let's get a race committee started. the course that we used last year could be stretched out longer and still be safely outside of the inter-coastal channel. we could do two or three laps around the course. i would really like a long distance race (to the causeway & back ?) added to the schedule. i need to lose some crew weight (meaning: start jogging ross! ) by july.
