Farewell from Little Joe

[Dan]

In case you don't see Little Joe on the race course, just wanted to let everyone know I'm following through on a long term plan to move back home to New Orleans.

Texas has been a great place to work and live, but New Orleans is home and close to family.

I have thoroughly enjoyed sailing in the Bay. The racing was great and would not have been possible except for the GBCA.  I have been in other volunteer sailing groups but none like the GBCA. It really fulfills its mission and pulls together sailors, boat owners and folks that want to sail. It is one of the most unique sailing organizations I have ever come across.

Sailing and racing would not have been as enjoyable had I not met an awesome group of people. Nearly all of us met on the GBCA's crew finder discussion page. Many, many thanks to Christine, Matt, Dan, Bill, Todd, Eric, David, Jenny, Travis, Phil and Don. By the way, these are all good sailors and I'm sure would appreciate an offer to sail on another boat.

A special shout-out goes to Suzy Bradford for her guidance in finding sailors and helping me through the early stages. She helped more than she knows.

Sailing in the Icicle and Rum Races has been great but would not be as memorable without the after party's. A chance to meet folks from other boats and swap stories is half the fun. I will miss those parties. Plus, I have acquired a certain taste for Cruzan Rum...

I could go on but just want to say I have enjoyed sailing with you all and wish everyone all the best in the future.

Best regards and thank you,

Dan Sullivan

Congratulations on following thru with your long term plans. Great seeing you on the race course and hope you have great success in New Orleans. I am sure the parties there will be epic!

Sorry to see you go - we will just have to find you when we are that direction. Thank you for the competition and good luck.

Damn Dan.  Hate to see you go but know you will enjoy being home.  Nothing like NOLA food but you may get fat.
