<DIV><FONT face="MS Sans Serif" size=2>I'm Lew Sacks, Dutch Bull's partner on Magic and the 2007 Capri 25 Fleet Captain.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS Sans Serif" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS Sans Serif" size=2>The reason I asked to be fleet captain (no, I didn't get "elected" 'cause I was outatown for that meeting) was so that I could get to know the members of the Fleet a little better as well as to help our fleet grow and become even more fun.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="MS Sans Serif" size=2>Once in awhile I see some interesting articles in the sailing press and in sailing-related blogs. Here's one from a Laser sailor that I thought some of you might be interested in. <A href="http://www.campbellsailing.com/index.php/2007/04/15/monday-morning-tactician-16-april-2007-the-first-beat-blues">http://www.campbellsailing.com/index.php/2007/04/15/monday-morning-tactician-16-april-2007-the-first-beat-blues</A></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="MS Sans Serif" size=2>I picked it up from <A href="http://www.sailingscuttlebutt.com/">http://www.sailingscuttlebutt.com/</A> which is a great source of daily information on our sport...especially now that we're into the America's Cup Season.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS Sans Serif" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS Sans Serif" size=2>If you're interested in seeing more of this kind of stuff, let me know and I'll continue routing it. Conversely, i</FONT><FONT face="MS Sans Serif" size=2>f this is just another piece of Spam to you, please also let me know that. We all get enough junk e-mail and I don't want to put even more in your mailbox.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS Sans Serif" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS Sans Serif" size=2>Also, if you have some Fleet related concerns or thoughts about "what needs to be done around here", please let me know. I promise I'll follow up.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS Sans Serif" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="MS Sans Serif" size=2>Thanks, and have a great year!</FONT></DIV>
