Have I missed something?

Checks?

We're racing for cash now?

or is this a Crocadile Dundee reference or something?

If you had been coming to the Regattas you would know what was going on. <img src=

I would have a glock. Wife is

uncomfortable

with guns in the house for some reason.

I think that means she's worried that she'd shoot me 😛

Thomas,

I can't believe you coming after reading all these post. You would think it was winter already.

If you dont pre-register you may miss out on a Hat, but otherwise all is well with paying on site. Remember though, we feed 400+ people on Saturday night. Never seen them run out of steaks, but I would'nt want to be at the back of the line without a ticket(or a big knife...)

$70 bucks sounds expensive, but if you divide the food, beer, and goodies by 0.015%, then cross multiply and square the sum, then it works out as a good deal.

Thats a good point for the new people coming... you want to be camping the front of the food line well ahead of the group <img src=

Since this would be my first regatta I was wondering about class rules and such at the Outback. Your guidance would be appreciated. My Hobie is an 84 with mostly stock gear. I don't have a comptip. Is this a problem?
Are there other Hobie 16's going to be there?
Also it seems that I have read about a minimum weight for crew (285?), is that something that I need worry about? It might be that I would be single handing, and while I'm heavy I'm not that heavy.
If my son were to crew for me he is only 12 years old. Is his age a problem?

Thanks for your input.

No problem, no problem, and no problem.

No problem, no problem, and no problem.

And that is a BIG reason we sail w/ the cats instead of cleaning up the keelboat. We are welcome w/ a homemade boat so you have absolutely no worries.

$70 - Two dinners on two night, racing, shirts, hats and prizes, that is a bargin. Good work! I wonder how you are covering the costs? Donations and volunteers?

About 100 boats. Economy of scale.

You'll find some single handers and kid crews. I had my 8 year old daughter crew with me on my H16 at the Hatteras Regatta last month. It was great to get her on the boat. There will be plenty of folks around to help you with rigging, advice, etc. The sailing club also has plenty of room for camping. Glad you can make it.

What is the gas situation in Columbia SC?

It's getting very difficult to find a station in Atlanta with gas.

As I understand it, Greenville SC has gas... at least according to my little sister who goes to Furman.

I read in the AJC that the pipeline is expected back up Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest.

Shouldn't there be some kind of redundancy in these pipelines? Didn't we learn anything from Katrina?
