We're looking forward to another great week of sailing, eating, boasting, and comeraderie. If the rain holds off long enough tomorrow, I'll pull the boat and ready her for the trip. Already have a pile of stuff in the garage.

if youre not here who will i have to make fun of. seriously, i wish you would reconsider. we should be able to set you up with a motor. i have a transom mounted trolling motor that works pretty good and even though the cruise and carry has been sitting under my work bench for years it stared on the third pull. i can also check with a couple of friends and see what they have. i think that matt has one come to thin of it

come on carl. everyone is throwing down the gauntlet

CLR attendees, it is with regret that we will not be attending this years CLR. I went to urgent care today and found out the injury to my thumb while sailing with Chris back in april, needs surgery. It was broken and dislocated. It healed wrong with a chip out of place. Also this past Monday i was carrying the outboard onto the boat when i mistepped and injured my left calf. I go in for an ultra sound tomorrow.

This sailing business might be dangerous for you Carl.  Outboards have the tendency to be a PITA and carrying them is no picnic.  We will miss seeing you at CLR.  I am packed and I am ready.  Should arrive on Monday before noon.  We will toast you with an adult beverage wishing you a speedy recovery.
