[J22-Fleet 1]J-22 NA's

[Craig Lofgren]

I think it would be fun to have another go at it.  It's probably bad luck to 
even mention it, but surely we can do better than 1996's miserable hosting 
where there wasn't a breath of wind for 5 straight days.  Although, we did 
get our share of volleyball and tanning.  I was driving the jury boat and 
helping with race committee, and would be willing to do that again.  But 
that was only a small part, many other people made it a great success.

My $0.02 worth,

Craig Lofgren
