Good Morning, Sailors!
The event is just around the corner so it is appropriate for me to communicate a couple of reminders in brief. But first, let me tell you that you are going to want to detail your boats and get them all shiny because, for the second year in a row, we are going to have a professional photographer flying around the start area in an ultralight airplane taking areal photographs of you as you start charging from the line. These photos will be available for purchase after the race directly from the photographer (Jim Englund Photography Ventura CA). Jim also takes the photos and turns them into acrylics on canvas. These beautiful pieces look great over the mantle. So, get those boats cleaned up!
Don't forget that we are having a Mandatory Skipper's Meeting on race day (May 4) at 8:30 a.m. on the party docks at Channel Islands Marina. To get there, come into Channel Islands Harbor on Harbor Blvd and then turn left onto Barracuda Way. Park on either side of the round about and then come down through Gate 7. We'll have coffee and morning snacks.
The Skipper's Meeting is where you will
1. check in;
2. receive your Skippers Bag with the game program, sailing instructions, and lots of cool "swag";
3. receive your event tickets;
4. pay for tickets for crew (remember that only two are included with your entry fee and each additional ticket is $10.00;
5. Meet the Race Committee and the Principal Race Officer who will offer you an orientation per the Sailing Instructions so you will know what to do on the race course;
6. learn what the race course will be; and
7. get the latest information regarding the after race party at the Waterside.
So, it is required that you attend.
Also, please, if you haven't done so already, get me your headcounts. I will have the required number of tickets for you at the skippers meeting if you give me your head count in advance. As you know, two (2) tickets are included in your entry fee. If you need more let me know. They are $10 each.
More and more boats are starting to join the fleet. We are all very excited about this event as it is going to be the biggest and most elegant racing event in the County. We are so glad to have you!
