<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks to the all-time record turnout last year (22 boats!)
you’ll want to sign up early for the 2009 edition of the “Ranger Tom
Barto Memorial” Tomales Bay Regatta. The date has been set for <b>October
24-25</b> to get the all-important favorable tides, and the Inverness YC is
thrilled to be hosting us again.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>As you might guess from the various incidents of 2008, we
will not be staying at the state park and instead will move back to the Olema
Ranch campground (<a href="http://www.olemaranch.com/">http://www.olemaranch.com/</a>)
where we’ve been in the past - it’s actually 10 minutes closer to
the town and venue so that means you’ll be less likely to run your car
into a ditch (Kevin). Tentative plan is for us to reserve spots in the Meadow
area so we will be less likely to disturb other folks. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>So please sign up this week at <a
href="http://vanguard15.org/schedule/538">http://vanguard15.org/schedule/538</a>
so I can reserve the proper number of sites. And if you have non-sailing
friends, significant others, etc. who’d like to help run races they’re
very welcome. It’s hard work to be in the committee boat all day.<o:p></o:p></p>
