BERT-n-ERNIE SHOW
It's that time again, and it all STARTS TONIGHT.
The granddaddy of WYC sailing Seminars. Great for newbies wanting to learn, 
great for rockstars wanting a brush up, great for crew looking for rides. 
Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings. Everyone should go.

PAY TO PLAY
I don't want to sound like a meanie, but if  you haven't paid your dues you 
don't get scored. Please insure that your boat is listed in the scoring 
system to insure that you are ready to race. If you are listed in the 
"pending" fleet our assumption is that you're not planning to race and you 
won't be scored (even if your boat is in the marina). If you pay your dues 
after you start racing, you won't get those race finishes back, so please do 
it now.
