<div>Sorry for the late response, but 1203 is my boat and didn't even realize it was being sailing, I agreed to let it be used a couple times on Tuesday nights for team racing. Please throw out 1203 from race 3 where they hit the RC boat, also feel free to throw out anyone except the owner when there is contact (at least for my boat). If people are borrowing boats and not doing all the can to avoid collisions that is unacceptable.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Andrew, please drop my gear off at my house. This is the 3rd time I have had to ask you.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Looking to sell the boat if anyone is interested, please give me a shout. <a href="mailto:holt.condon@gmail.com">holt.condon@gmail.com</a> </div>

<br>By the way, I asked TI Staff to order some new anchorsw as we are down to 3 mushrooms. Both the <br>V15s and TI use them. They bought them last year so I guess it is our turn to pay for them. Price should be about $80.<br>

<br>A comment about Race # 3 (just to re-hash all the stupid F'in sailing I did last night and won't be surprised if Avery sells her 0% stake in 1629)...<br><br>We were flagrantly fouled at the finish by 1203. Not sure who the guys were but we were making a second attempt at finishing the race when 1203 came flying in on port tack and literally slammed in between us on starboard tack and the RC boat. It happened very quick but it was ridiculous. Chad is copied here and witnessed the whole incident. 1203 felt we were going backwards with no rights. Avery and I don't feel this is the case at all and it was a shockingly simple P vs. S situation.<br>
<br>Note if a 1203 is tossed from race # 3 - this moves us up to 5th for the night and Kevin down to 6th. I'm not interested being a di*k here to change the scores but this was a really stupid move that should be addressed.<br>
<br>Nice work to Barkow last night and all the fleet for great sailing. Cheers to John Super Sr. & Jr. for getting off 5 prompt races including the two lappers - they made us earn it last night. Probably the most competive night of the year.<br clear="all">
