Folks --
There is still time to signup (late fee after 2/28). According to lead
cheerleader, Jason, it is looking like we have ~17 boats. Whadya say, lets
make it at least 20... would be very cool to have more expresses than
Moore's out there.
And surprisingly, the weather forecast is looking most excellent. I have
heard that the commodore of the StFYC has the power to order up nice weather
when it suits him. Looks like he is doing a good job for this one -- thanks
Ray...
Also, I need to clarify some points from previous email--
-- Soire is Saturday, after the races
-- There will be beer on Ray's Farr, right after the racing.
C'mon and join the fun...

Express Heads --
Don't miss all the action on the water and the party! Get signed up for the
Spring Keel and don't miss the party (even if you can't race, show up for
this, if you miss this, you may be missing the opportunity to pick up a
trophy... we have lots of em.)
Some features of our Soire:
1) Ray Lotto has offered the hospitality of his Farr 53, Atalanta for the
dockside portion of our 2006 season celebration (and 2007 kickoff). We will
have the tapped and ready to go, there. Atalanta will be flying a big Rolex
flag off the backstay, and it is located a few slips to the East of the
regatta docks. So, as soon as you get your boat tied up wander on over
there. Those of you not racing, head on over with the rest of us.
2) At approximately, 5:00-5:30 PM, the plan is to head on over to the Chart
Room at the Club... I believe that is upstairs. We will have a nice
appetizer spread and more beer. Some of you may know that Ray is the new
Commodore at the StFYC and he has been working behind the scenes pulling
mysterious and powerful commodorish strings to make this a special event for
the fleet. So, this is not to be missed.
3) After everyone has settled in and had something to eat and drink we will
proceed with the annual awards and recognitions. We have the room until
7:30, but I will plan on having the awards finished by 6:30. This should
allow plenty of time to party and socialize afterwards we should be finished
early enough for folks to plan on having a leisurely supper in the city
(either at the club or elsewhere) on their own.
So, we'll see ya'll at the Soire... even if you can't sail, party!
PLEASE SIGNUP AT THE EXPRESS WEBSITE, SO WE WILL SOME KIND OF HEADCOUNT.
Paul -- could you please check to make sure this mass-mailing doesn't get
hung-up at the reflector?
