Hi Gary!

In general, most of the Marblehead fleet is actually down in Boston in somewhat small housing situations (but I'm sure we could find space for you ;))  We do have one fleet member in Marblehead proper who may have some room--I'll check in on that.  Otherwise, definitely the best bet for accommodations will be the airBNB route either in Marblehead or in neighboring Salem.  Hotels in the Salem area work well too..  Finally, there's accommodations in Boston YC, but I'm not sure if they're spoken for yet...it's best to check them out here:  https://www.bostonyc.org/hotel

Right now we're up to 9 boats, all but one is local (we're excited to see you Mark!).  I think we may have one more showing up from Maine for the event, and I've heard rumors about a few Mudheads making the trip north...  It would be great to see people in Marblehead after NA's!! :)

Cheers,
Cole

Thanks for signing up Gary!  We're really excited to have you up in Marblehead in a few weeks!

For others out there on the fence, late fee kicks in after this Friday (July 13th) so it's time to sign up now!  We should have 10+ boats on the line in this mid-summer classic!

Cheers,
Cole

Anyone else want to make the trip up to Marblehead this week?  It promises to be a really nice 3 day regatta, we have 12 boats signed up and ready to go!

Hi Mhd/NE Viperers!

I am--as it turns out--making a rare, completely unscheduled appearance in Marblehead (I had to come to Boston for some stuff, and Kay informed me that NOOD's we happening, can't miss that).  So anyway, scrambling to get it together, and looking forward to seeing some old faces from the fleet and meeting new ones!

A few things--

1) If anyone needs last minute crash space, my place in Chelsea (about 40 min from Parker's) is empty.  Bring something to sleep on and a towel.  Ton's of space, but not much if any furniture.  (Looking for a new tenant, the whole point of the trip).

2) Also, if any vipers are registered but can't make it last minute, let me know and I'll buy your entry off you.

3) Need crew.  Kay and Cole are looking, but I figured I'd mention it here.

Anyway, looking forward to it!

Text me for any of the above.  617-513-9841

Cheers!
-Olaf
