well, it won't be long till i start bothering people about the CLR in july (25th through 29th or when everyone leaves). anyway i would like to have a list of attendees as soon as your schedules are finalized. last year we seemed to end up with more sailors than boats. while i was delighted with the turnout, more boats would be better. now, i hope everyone knows that this event is not for com-pac boats only (we had two catalinas last year). we figured the starting sequence using established phrf #s for each boat. the first race (for practice) was pretty slow due to lack of wind. the big race went very well with lots of wind and excitement. this year i think we will race more depending on interest and sarah and i may even compete. well enough of the pre-bothering mode. as always we hope to see old friends and make new ones. eveyone be safe this winter.
I certainly plan to be there, with at least the Guideboat and maybe my little Precision 15k unless I sell her first. Doubt I'd bring the 23 but who know? In a fit of reckless abandon, I may just do it!
Has a theme been chosen for this year?

Meet me in Charleston WV, & you can skipper my salty vessel, S'Go.
bob, the "theme". (why does a woman have to have a "theme" for a party) is going to be "gilligan's island". im guessing a lot of guys will be looking for mary anne short jean shorts or ginger evening gowns. i have one pretty blue one that should be a stunner. i wonder if i can play corn hole wearing it. still have to find a wig.
Ummm...you dressed as Maryann or Ginger? Now I got that damn picture in my head! Where's my PBR?????
I've already had a couple rum and cokes tonight and that image is still going to haunt me!
SHEeesh!, Kick!
even with his hair done up right and a new dress i see him as norman's mother from physco.
c.c.
Carl: I knew he reminded me of someone but couldn't put my finger on just who. You nailed it!
im a big boy. i can take it----think "tootsie" or "the birdcage". are there hot babes that are 6'5" with a mustache? and bob, i might just know a guy who knows a guy who was at the place for a thing who might just have a com-pac 16 he might let you use. i think his name is rich. boy is he gonna be mad at me. i better give him a call before he reads this.
Too late... I am not cheap, but I can be bought.
i knew that would get a rise out of him. are you busy this weekend? if not maybe we can meet in nashville for a bite. ill give you a call
Steve and Sarah,
It was good to see you for dinner Saturday night. I am looking forward to seeing everyone that can make it to Carlyle this year.

So the guys dress as girls...got it. Do the girls dress as guys? Or do they all go as Gilligan?
Maybe ya outta do a "three hour tour" cruise as part of the theme. Then castaway on a deserted, but fully stocked, sandbar.
three hour night cruise -----in costume -------guys do not have to be in drag---except carl
!@#$%^&* it!!! Those are exactly the dates for a conference I have to attend for work. Did I miss something or didnt this use to be over a weekend?
Anyway, I promise to make this at some point.
Sal
it used to be on a weekend but due to the increased traffic both on the lake and at the ramps we switched it to during the week this past year. im sorry if this doesnt work for you but it does make the event much easier. during the week the marina is quiet and the clubroom is pretty much deserted. launching a boat is also much less of a hassle and the we pretty much have the lake to ourselves. sorry
Makes sense. I just wish it would have worked out. Sounds like such a terrific time. Someday......
