Wickford (RI) Regatta May 21-22

[Ben Jacobsen]

yeah, and if not there's a packy also basically across the street... lol

We're up to seven on this one! Let's get to the 12, for a $20/boat rebate.  i.e. just $120 for the two days WITH dinner and beer!  Now that's a deal.

Newport?

Long Island Sound boats?

This will be a great season kickoff.

We're actually at 8. In keeping with the presidential tradition established by Justin, I simply haven't paid yet.  I'll get around to it today or tomorrow.  :-O

Rooms at the Wickford Motor Inn are $60+tax (~$68) per night.  Plenty of availability at this point.

2.2 mile away.

Got 4 stars in 18 reviews.  Seems like it's run by a friendly little old lady.

[Dan Tucker]

Okay, I'm official now, and even have 1 crew. 2 1/2 weeks in advance? WTF?  :-P

I might even book a room next!

Sweet, we're up to 8.  Four more and we get the $20/boat rebate....!  C'mon, who are the laggards?!

I am on the fence. Got to see if I can get my boat and myself up there in time.
Not committing to this until mid may.

Wow, even worse than me! You do know it's only 2 weeks from this coming Saturday, right?  ;)

I've scored free lodging through the regatta contact, might even have a 3rd crew already. Even went and bought my own handheld VHF finally. Gotta stop losing those damned things!

Dude! 

1) Hitch boat to car
2) Start driving!

Been nice up here lately!  Spring is definitely here.

LOL

[Olaf Bleck]

Up to 9 boats! 

Matt?
Justin?
working on a couple of Marblehead guys still, though we're representin' with me, Paul Z (aka 'Angry Pirate'), Dan Tucker, and Brian Barmmer (new Mhead skipper, welcome!)

Newport, who's missing?

Long Island Sound people?  Let's get another 5-10 laggards and get the New England season going!

(the ones that say pending are missing crew info.  you had to pay to get to that point, so all 9 are in)

Read back into this thread for cheap hotels and more.

[Olaf Bleck]

Okay, up to ten!

[Matt Sole]

I am missing this one, got a class starting on the Monday after. Last one and I am done!

I'm planning to rig at least on Friday.  Depends on when I get there.
