He just bought Danger Zone <span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;" class="">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.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">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.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">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.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">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.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Note Thursdays race begins in the BAY at 5:45 (confirmed).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">That is all.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Sean</div><div class="">Fleet yadayada</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div></body></html>
