Whew, great day in the water.

First gun was at 12:00 which was nice after.an epic night on burbon street. Four more races in 10 to 15.

Boston moved into first. Mauri to second. Guggs to third. Jones to fourth. 7 points separate the first four places after eight races.

Big party at the club tonight.

Jeff Jones · March 13, 2011, 07:52:58 PM

Mauri, guggs, Boston are the top three but it was a very competitive regatta. Today results decided the top four spots... as it should be.

Epic regatta. Big kudos to our rc for great communication and a near flawless performance. Troy and the whole noyc mgrw staff went out of their way to make sure we had a good time. Very, very well run event.
There is a resounding consensus from all the viper sailors that we will most certainly be back next year, but with greater numbers.

Full report and a bunch of pictures to follow once I recover.

All,

Had a good time sailing. Had a even better time getting reacquainted with old friends. And even a better time making new ones.

We learned a lot and had fun.

Big thank you to Eric G. for towing our boat to Savanna for Brian Bennet to do some keel work for us. Eric and his team said sure, no problem, and made it happen. Thanks guys. Next time we see ya, we owe you a few drinks.

Thanks to Brian Bennet for taking the time to do some keel work.

See you in Charleston.

Craig and Deborah
(nobody pissed Deborah off but me this weekend)
