Another opportunity to pass up the leaners, and a fun race! They invited us last year and have invited us again. This is traditionally a monohull PHRF race, so let's answer the invite!

From Ken Yeomans:

It's time to rally the troops and get the word out. The race is scheduled for Saturday October 2nd. We are meeting Thursday night to set the course and finish the NOR. Please email your group and remind them to save the date. There will be food, beverage and entertainment after the race starting around 4:30 (for you fast boats)!
Best,
Ken

Hi Damon

I've attempted to put this on the calendar. I chose 'submit event' and 'go' and the page appeared to send but then it seemed to hang.

I attempted to reload the page and it said something like 'you can't attempt that function.'

Hell I dunno whether the submission made it, but I've tried...

hope this finds you well

Nonstop round Cat. Last year it was start>ICW7>D>C>B>A>tall range>finish

Last year was the first time they invited multis and we had something like 8-10 boats. I do believe it was a good time for all involved

PCYC is putting more stuff on this year. Please, all, let's make a good showing, especially if this is in your backyard.

Hi Damon

I've attempted to put this on the calendar. I chose 'submit event' and 'go' and the page appeared to send but then it seemed to hang.

Thanks, good job, don't know what the hangup was but it did go through and is posted now.

While I was looking at submitted calendar items I found several that were waiting approval that I didn't know about, some failure of the email notifications I'm supposed to receive when someone submits an event.

Sorry to Gilligans run, Hiram Haul, and Juana for not getting you on the calendar sooner.
