Those of us who have been around 5 years or more probably remember that fun event. We don't bring boats, but just ourselves, sail a lot on Galveston Bay nice and early in the season for us, and eat lots of shrimp.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Another invite that I've gotten is for the White Nights Team Racing regatta in St. Petersburg Russia. This will be the weekend of the solstice (June 19-21) and will be with teams from Finland and Russia. I've been sailing there before and know these guys... They are new to team racing (they mostly match race) and are looking forward to having us come. BTW, this is during the midnight sun time (e.g. White Nights) so there is no time limit on the water! This is not on Sonars though, but on J70's so technically it isn't a Sonar event even though it would likely be the same people.<br></div><div><br></div><div>What is the straw poll interest in these regattas?<br></div><div><br></div><div><div class="x_-158510107gmail_signature" dir="ltr"><div>Thomas Brown<br></div><div>"Maximizing Business by Minimizing Surprises"<br>~~~~~~~~_/)~~~~~~~~_/)~~~_/)~~~~~~~~</div></div></div></div><div>_______________________________________________<br></div><div>Sonar mailing list<br></div><div><a target="_blank" href="mailto:Sonar@lists.wyc.org">Sonar@lists.wyc.org</a><br></div><div><a target="_blank" href="http://lists.wyc.org/mailman/listinfo/sonar">http://lists.wyc.org/mailman/listinfo/sonar</a><br></div></div></blockquote></div><div><br></div></div><br></body></html>
