# 387 SOUTHERN BAY RACING NEWS YOU CAN USE

Lin Mccarthy on Thursday April 3, 2008 04:16PM

Signs of Spring:  Five porpoise spotted running along side the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel pilings;  the grinding gears of multi-ton lifts, hauling boats to be splashed; and sails heading toward summer slips.  Lots of sails heading toward slips.  For instance, on the Rappahannock tomorrow, watch for PHRF South Region VP, Mike Dale, to be bringing his J/27,  Juggernaut,  down the rivah from Urbanna.
 
SBRW Entry Up-date:  The entry list at the event website is updated periodically.  Go to  www.blacksealcup.com  for info.  Remember, too, that there is a  special additional Early Bird Entry incentive - SBRNYCU is sponsoring a set of regatta shirts as the prize for the winner of a special drawing for which only Early Birds are eligible. For additional info call Lin McCarthy at (757) 850-4225.

MURPHY'S LAW:  April Fools' Day  is a favorite holiday for Yrs Truly, The Racing Beagle.  I spend hours getting dressed up for the nearest Doo-Dah Parade or April Fools' Party.  Most folks are taken aback by a beagle in Topsiders!  And, watch out for those April Fools'  tricksters - your boat probably did NOT sink at the dock, no matter what your best bud says when he calls at 5 am!   /S/  Murphy the Racing Beagle, the sailing spirit in us all.
