<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Ok fine, we haven't sent out an e-blaster since
August. Fortunately everyone seems to get along just fine on their own and the
J22 Districts, the U-Gotta, the Star of the North, the Fall Regatta, and this
weekend's Richardson Cup have gone off without a hitch thus far. Thank you to
everyone who participates in our fall regattas, and a special thanks
to all the tireless organizers who are the backbone of our sailing
community. The final races of the season and the banquet are just around
the corner, so hang on for the big end of the season push.</FONT></DIV><FONT
