Hey Teresa,
Great to hear you all are having a great time. I look forward to hearing
stories and seeing photos at the US Nationals at Ware River over Columbus
Day weekend (or Canadian Thanksgiving, October 11-13, 2008). More info
here: http://www.albacore.org/USA/usnationals08/
So far we have 14 boats signed up and the competition looks to be pretty
good. Hotel rooms are still available until September 10, but I hear at
least half are booked at this point. Who else is in? Here's the list:
Robert Bear USA
Ian & Jeff Brayshaw CAN
Daphne Byron USA
Peter Duncan USA
Jim Graham USA
Barney Harris USA
Michael Heinsdorf USA
Greg Jordan USA
Heather Macnaughton CAN
Allan Measor CAN
Katrina Merrigan USA
