<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I'm listening to the news right now and that storm
line yesterday produced 35 tornado sightings, <U>a single day record for
Minnesota</U>. While we got lucky, it was a potent storm line with much more
than rain. The radar was not telling us the full story.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Each skipper needs to decide if they can or should
race, it's there personal responsibility. But the same rule also applies to
the RC boat, and we don't question their decisions regarding their personal
safety. I didn't like Blake's decision at the time, but I watched the florescent
green color of the sky later in the evening and was glad to not be on the
water.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The first thing I learned at WYC (from the
Bert-n-Ernie show) was that you never make a call on "sailing vs not
sailing" until you're at the dock and it's time to setup the boat. So, yes,
Blake could have done an onshore postponement and that entire routine; that may
have been preferable. But his decision to notify us earlier was out of
courtesy, and was simply his effort to best serve the overall needs of our
racers (and Thursdays are about more than just racing...). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We have the best club racing RC in the country (and
I'm not just saying that), so I'll give them this one hair split.</FONT></DIV>

Canceled</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>WYC Race Committee,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I respectfully request that the PRO refrain from announcing a
race cancellation prior to the officially allowed time. This
practice results in people leaving the club area early, and prevents the
opportunity for a PRO change-of-mind if the situation changes. As I
observed tonight, it also creates unnecessary opportunities for protest.
I request that the PRO consider postponement on the water or ashore
until it is absolutely clear that the weather will not improve.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I realize that the PRO position in our club is an extremely difficult
position and comes with many difficult decisions. This message should be
considered constructive feedback.<BR>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
<DIV>Odell</DIV>
