<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000">
<DIV>Thank you everybody for the welcome. Thank you Sean for the
flattering introduction. I have skippered boats bigger than a J/24 and raced
faster boats too. <IMG class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile"
style="BORDER-TOP-STYLE: none; BORDER-LEFT-STYLE: none; BORDER-BOTTOM-STYLE: none; BORDER-RIGHT-STYLE: none"
alt=Smile src="cid:6976504493CB404BAFCD52F464183097@Gateway"> However I feel a
little in over my head with this. The J/24 is way heavier than anything I ever
raced before. I’m building a program based on the two person crew of Shambles
and adding some sub 100 lbs. sailors. I have received positive feedback from
some WYC crew and I’m trying to figure out how to do things. I’m going to try to
sail as much as possible and build skills. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I truly feel welcomed in the fleet and I will try my best. I appreciate all
the encouraging conversations so far. Count on me staying out of your way in the
beginning and take it easy at every mark.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My hopes currently is to be able to do Burton Cup as my first WYC race and
I will for sure do Ugotta Regatta. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyone who know me know that I’m all for bigger boats and bigger waters, so
I will still be gone every time there is a race for me at AIS.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you for letting me in to your awesome fleet!</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>HI all,<o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>I would like to welcome Pontus Deverdier to the fleet. He
just bought Danger Zone <SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: calibri">J/24 #3522 </SPAN>in
Duluth and is attempting to make arrangements to to berth and race it at the
club. Pontus is a friend who being competitive, competent and fun, embodies what
our fleet is about.<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>If you see Rudy Rudenberg, encourage him as well, he took
Context up to Leach Lake last weekend and had his best regatta in 17
yrs.<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>Tomorrow night (6pm) is the Championship of Champions race,
please come down to encourage our TWO teams. Greg Bittle who sailed an amazing
Sunset series, getting second to the Usual Suspect juggernaut, will be joined by
his son Greg, who drove the Champ series. That is worth watching alone. I
remember being so impressed, when the Oppen’s won together. Randy Johnson
(Kattack) and I will also be there (representing the Catamaran fleet
officially). Uta helped win the last one for the J/22’s and I have always
thought it would be great to get one for the 24’s, being that it’s held at a
scow club and all.<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>Take your boat out, or check back in on this link in case
someone offers a ride. Dinner on lighthouse island to follow. While it seems
there is rarely any wind, tomorrow is supposed to be great conditions, hope you
can help support us.<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
