CLR?

[alsantini]

I don't know about the rest of you, but as winter settles in my thoughts go to CLR and sailing on Carlyle Lake, Southern Illinois.  Steve, any thoughts to bringing back the event?  If you need help, count on me.  Even if CLR does not materialize I plan on pulling Off the Wind down to Carlyle and sailing for 5 days in early summer.  Since I am not going to be sailing in Florida this winter (Covad and foot surgery), the thought of all that great water calls me for some summer sailing.

   Sorry your not making it to Florida this year and I hope your foot issue is not very serious.  I can't wait until this virus is a thing of the past so we can all get back to normal lives.
   I'd do the CLR in 2021.

I'm in. And Steve and I still have a rowing race to settle. There's a case of PBR at stake!! What say ye, Steve?

What does the winner get?

[Christopher]

Last place gets a very nice trophy.  I now have many of them.

What does the winner get?

Renae-
The winner gets the experience and memories of being there! I've been to two and wish I'd attended sooner. Well worth the 14 hour drive from NJ and I do hope to get there in 2021!

    well, as everyone knows covid19 put the kybash  to this years CLR. to be on the safe side CLR 2021 will only take place if a vaccine exists. until then travel will still be risky. this event matters little compared to the health of our good friends. sarah and i hope that we can play hosts again. i would encourage all those interested to share their ideas so we can make the next event the best one ever. and bob, my racing craft has been tested and is ready to meet the challenge.

[Bob23]

We're all hoping that the powers that be, or the powers that think they be, will straighten out this mess and the famous and infamous CLR can once again commencing ruining the reputations of those sailors brave enough to attend.

Dost I hear a challenge from the highly esteemed Kick? Be forewarned: I've been rowing a lot and am up to the challenge. Hey, maybe a little betting pool from the rest of the gang might make this interesting. By the way, how far are we rowing, anyway? 5 miles? 10? More??

Cheers! Bob23

[kickingbug1]

   well bob, i accept the challenge. my 17 ft square stern race canoe (converted to a rowing skiff) is primed and ready to go.  you choose the course after all you are the professional.

[Bob23]

Well, this will be fun! Isn't there a silo on Carlyle Lake somewhere? How far is it one way? And...regarding a wager... I'm thinking a bottle of fine Scotch. What say ye?

[kickingbug1]

or cash equivalent ,

[Bob23]

You're on! But I'll take the scotch when I win!!

[kickingbug1]

    ok so you get "inexpensive" scotch and i get jack daniels "tennessee honey"

[Bob23]

Deal! Provided the winner (that'd be me) shares with the looser!
