Hello Folks


In the interest of time (Mine at the moment), I’ll keep the re-cap short and sweet……



In Boothbay…we raced, we learned, and on Sunday we kicked some royal butt! And that is all there is to it!



Thursday Night;



RC is not around….missing two in a row……that’s rough! Last Thursday was a blast though. Thank you Monica for a great dinner and Catherine really appreciated the celebration as well. I think I can speak for the whole group when I say your culinary expertise was better than expected! (I mean that in a complimentary way!).



Camden Delivery;



Who; Scott Thomas (I think Pam and Gregg are crewing so far). Scott, I have the key to RC, somehow it ended up in my pocket rather than the boat (I can get it and the GPS to you on Tuesday night. Also, when you arrive in Camden, see if you can get dock space in front of the club again….I’ll give them a check when I get up there, if not…see attached for mooring and dock info. I will be able to make the delivery back…..will be leaving just after the race on Sunday and making it back to Boothbay.



Pam, if the plan below regarding cars is all set, I will try to get my tuck to where you need it. I’ll have to coordinate with Catherine regarding if she and I can car-pool to our meetings Friday.



Where; the boat is at; Map quest…… Stevenson 10 River Bend Dr, Boothbay, ME 04537-4933 for driving directions. There will be a dingy and oars on shore near the dock. They know you are coming so no worries, they won’t think you are stealing it.



When; Give Scott an e-mail/phone if interested in delivery up.



Camden –Castine (July 28-29)



Who; (Crew)



We’re booked; Rich, Pete, Gregg, Rita, Monica, Scott, Pam



When;



Friday;



- RC comes in and will hopefully have a dock space in front of the Y.C.

- Rich and Catherine will arrive in early evening and head to the YC for check in. My number is 207-632-0317 for those trying to get together.



Saturday



– Re-hydrate

- 9:00 am, Rich and Gregg go to Y.C. for skippers meeting while crew prep boat at dock and ready to leave dock at 10:15 for probable 11:30 warning gun. The first gun has not been posted yet…..so check-in with Y.C. in case something weird happens……like an earlier gun due to weather etc.



Sunday;



- Re-hydrate

- RC ready to leave (TBA)

- After the race, I will be taking off right away to Boothbay.



Notes;



- Pam is our social director for this excursion so please give her an e-mail regarding the partying!

- I’m not sure of sleeping arrangements, so I have not included them here.



Why;



Because we can! The race instructions say so!



As per Pam’s earlier e-mail;



Hi Rich.

You have confirmed dock space at the hotel we are staying at in CASTINE, the Castine Harbor Lodge. If the weather is bad, they will have a mooring available.



Re Lunches:

Saturday: Scott and I will be at a motel with no kitchen so unless someone else is up for making lunch for the gang, perhaps for Saturday, everyone is on their own for lunch stuff. Rich what time do you want to meet at the boat in Camden on Sat am?



Sat afternoon night: cocktails and dinner in Camden. There is a bar/restaurant where we are staying at the Camden Harbor Hotel or we can wing it in town. I’ll bring restaurant phone #s so we can make a reservation when we are under sail if you want to be sure.



Beer/Beverages: Perhaps BYOB for weekend? We can pick up ice in Camden and Castine each am.



Sunday: I can shop for and coolerize lunch stuff and find a place to make sandwiches on Sunday morning. Cost will be $5 per head if you are interested, plz let me know by Wed by email or after that by phone as I will be on the road: cell: 671-8197. Any food allergies or preferences?



Return Delivery: Rich did anyone volunteer yet to help with return delivery?



Car options (If ok with respective car owners)

Here is a new suggestion:

Fri Scott and Pam drop Odessy with Monica and drive in Gregg’s to your marina in Bath to pick up you car. Scott and Pam and Gregg leave your car in East Boothbay and do boat delivery.

Friday night: Monica drives Odessy with Pete to Camden. Then we’ll have Odessy to bring everyone south.

( Reta is getting a ride to Camden on her own. Catherine said she is leaving Camden early and not available to drive any crew after race.)

Gotta run
