[J24 ListSrv]Unofficial Night-Crawler and Full-Moon this Friday 8/19

[Smith, Craig A (MN14)]

Calling All Fleets - Full Moon is *really* this Friday, Aug 19, 2005. 

Let's meet at WYC around 6pm.  BYOB and something for the grill.  Starting
time is sunset or whenever you feel like it.  A warm tropical breeze is
predicted.  Course: at least once around Big Island.  Last boat to return
wins.  

So check your running lights and pack your blender, flashlight, tunes,
fleece jacket, and bug-spray.


PS
The "official" Night Crawler Race was scheduled Aug 5th, since the Sailing
instructions mistakenly believed that was the full moon (it was a new moon).
This unofficial event is sanctioned by neither by WYC nor the Lake
Minnetonka Moonlight Cruising Authority (LMMCA).
