CAPTAIN HOOK HANGING IN
All of Captain Hook's hard work comes down to the winner take all Paralympic 
Trials currently happening this week in Newport RI. This marathon regatta is 
six days long and Bert is hanging in second as of last night. First place 
races and second is the alternate for the Paralympic team heading to China 
in '08. The US Sailing website is a complete failure but you can follow the 
daily action at...

WYC TROPHY PHOTOS
Select a photo for your trophy frame, check out the season crash shots 
(including the recent U-Gotta), send picture links to friends, or order 
additional prints and trophy frames. It's all at 
http://www.dallasjohnson.net/WYC.htm

RETURN YOUR TROPHIES
It's not much of an Awards Banquet without the hardware.  So bring in your 
cleaned or polished trophies to the clubhouse where they can be staged for 
the banquet. Please leave them with all the other trophies.

WSF AUCTION ITEMS NEEDED
It's that time of year again. This is perhaps the easiest way for you to 
contribute, just about everyone has something they can donate as an auction 
item. Contact Mary Foster to make a donation. 952-474-1638 
Mary at thefosters.org  (note: Mary, put me down for the same donation as last 
year...dj)

BANQUET VOLUNTEERS
The few, the brave...banquet set-up volunteers are an elite core of party 
animals dedicated to bringing social activities to the greater population of 
sailors. If you think you have what it takes to hang burgees, sort 
glassware, align trophies, and show up on time, then drop Steve Bren a line 
and get your name on the list. 612-701-330 or manager at wyc.org

SHAKELTON CUP NOR
Time: Starts at 11:30 every Sunday beginning November 4th.
Course: WYC to Maynards (for Lunch) and back to WYC
Rules: Whoever takes the boat out for a sail the latest in the season with a 
minimum of at least 3 races wins. The other rule is that if you have a big 
lead, you need to sail backwards for a while.
Tie Breakers: The determining factor will be the number of times the boat 
made it all the way to Maynards for lunch.
P.R.O.: For questions, please call Valerie Petit @ 952-212-1823
