CBYRA High Point compilations. And, to go along with that achievement, the
Sea Star crew and friends won the
"Most-People-Present-to-Accept-the-Award" competition. They filled a long,
long table and almost a third of the room! Kudos!
55 and 1/2 at the CBYRA Region
Awards Soiree? The 1/2 was up and growing 9 month old son
of racing sailors Jerry and Andrea Latell.
Jackson learned how to accept trophies Saturday evening.
Midnight Mistress plans to move.
Jake and Pat Brodersen's C&C 35, Midnight
Mistress, will likely move to the PHRF B fleet this season.
MM was CCV High Point Champion and CBYRA Region 4 Champion in
PHRF Non-Spin in 2006.
Henry and Doug Amthor finished above the
mid-line down-under. The Amthor brothers were 42nd out of 92 in the
2007 SAP International 505 World Championship in Australia last
week.
Kid Rock or Queen??? or
both??? It's the kind of thing racers debate during the
winter. Who really did the song Fat Bottom Girl
and when? We need documented opinions.
