WHICH of these teams will you be talking about tomorrow?
Four more registrations came in - see the Revised Notice Board for more info.
Let me clarify one point - I mentioned shirts and trophies are being ordered this week. I did not mean to imply that you will not get a pair of shirts with your entry. I do mean to imply that it might get mailed to you after the event if you are not registered when the shirt order goes in. We'll do another run if we absolutely have to, which is part of the reason for the late entry fee of $50.
I cannot, however, do another run of trophies. SO! If you are not registered right now AND you think you might come in sixth AND you want a really cool trophy to take home, then you better get off your duff, fill out the form and fax it in.
FURTHER! With no reservations at either of the host hotels, we have lost our block of rooms. That's a couple of hours of my life I'll never get back. Drop me a PM or an e-mail if you want some suggestions on places to stay.
Really gonna be 3 Wildcats there? Didn't know there were any in the USA yet.
Tomko ditching Infusion?
Scuttlebutt is that there is a container of Wildcats arriving at the port here in two weeks. Can't wait to see them!
Notice Board updated - the entries keep trickling in! Two more surprise entries were mailed today - watch this space.
For those Johnny-come-latelys:
The Golden Sails will still take reservations at the rate we had. It was the budget option at $89. I’d recommend the Queen Mary if you want something nice, but the $119 rate isn’t likely available – you can only try. The other option is the Pacific Inn – I have stayed there before and it is a little above average and not very far away – try http://www.pacificinn-sb.com. Another option is Oakwood Apartments – they have weekly rentals and are even closer. Try (562) 493-9700 or www.oakwood.com.
John, I just booked the GuestHouse LB for 30% off (Fall Special) making it about ~65/night through hotels.com. Breakfast + wireless included.
Edit: I'll be sailing with Scott Miller on a Tiger. I think Jeff Collins is also coming with his Tiger.
Woot! Register! See you tomorrow, BTW.

Just an FYI to whoever runs naf18.org, your Wordpress static pages need to be re-done:

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
