Detroit NOOD 2009 May 29-31

Gutsy,
Dave Grover (Prime Time -- blue hull boat) is our contact at Crescent. They have dockage set up for you and Kelly at Crescent. Anyone that contacted me about dockage at Crescent is all set. The only boat that I did not hear from was Money Shot. If Money Shot wants to dock at Crescent, let me know. Crescent does frown on RV's though, they don't have the largest parking lot in the world. See you this weekend Guts, we are racing on the sausage course, I understand you guys are sailing the other course. Come over to PHYC after racing on Sunday, it's the annual PHRF party, free Beer and burgers. We are still looking for a fifth for Detroit also. But my crew is always looking for a Fifth of Rum, too.

John, instead of offering you a "Fifth" and leaving everyone else empty handed, Joe and I though it would be a grand idea to host a blender party for our fleet after the races on Saturday at Cresent. Stop on over at the dock and we'll mix something up to your liking!

I'm still available to crew if anybody needs a body. PM me if interested

We on Hunting Party had a great weekend in Detroit.
Congratulations to the Magic crew for their win.
Many thanks to Dave Grover for hosting us at the CSYC and to John Spierling and Jeff P for helping to ramrod the event.
It has been several years since we have been in Detroit and we enjoyed it.
WE had three people who are relatively new to sailing at this level and one of those had been sailing only a couple times.
I couln't have been more pleased with their performance and level of improvement!
Many thanks to all of the people who showed them the meaning of S2 7.9 class racing.
Chimo;
Guts.

Many thanks to Dave Grover, Gordon, the CSYC members and John Speirling for hosting, organizing the dock space, launch and haul out for our fleet! A job well done! A big thanks is also in order to the Hunting Party, Frequent Flyer, Money Shot, Rebel, Relentless and Prime Time teams for supporting our class on the starting line and enjoying a great weekend of sailing!

Many thanks to Dave Grover and Crescent Sail Yacht Club being gracious host for the event. I would also like to thank all that showed up for the regatta, hopefully next year we can double the participation. Lake St. Clair was it's devilish self with lots of occillations and holes of nothing, definitely some tough conditions. Congrats to Jeff and Joe on Magic and hope Jeff's ankle isn't too screwed up. Hope to see a big turn out in Sarnia at the end of the month.
