Well, we won't know that until the party this evening.  And it was only 6.

Stinger's crew is drinking beer and swimming at the condo waiting for the festivities to begin.  What would you like to know?   

For those who be needin' it here be google like a pirate;

I've posted the results and updated the series summary.

Agreed.  That was a nice set up.

I wonder if it's legal to do that over VHF.  I'd love to be able to listen in as we set up for a start...   

I'm bowing out of this discussion.  I know several of the PHRF-GB guys and I have a great deal of respect for them.  I'm sure they adjusted Larry's rating because he presented a good case.  I'm not sure if I speak for J105Bill but I know that the only reason I'd missed Parrot Tales' adjustment is that Stinger races class in the major regattas so I've not really needed to know that it had changed.

I'm with Charles, and if they can't get a link to South Shore they'll move the boat until they can...

Besides you can get amazing cell and 3g reception on the bay so if they can't see South Shore, they'll have other options.

Oops, I forgot to log in as myself when I posted that ^^^^

Hmm,  Stinger's jack lines run all the way to the stern.  Are we required to have something more than that this year?

Parrot Tale's rating is 81.  The start time is 5:29:00 for that rating.  In rum race 6 I started at 5:29:05.  if any one would like to contact me my # is 281 772-3099.  I hope this clears up any confusion.

Oops, sorry Larry that was the point of confusion. 

Bill, I set my watch to an internet time server a few hours before the start last Saturday and I started late a little behind you.  My best guess is that you were right on time....

I know who you're talking about and so does my crew because I shouted at them several times as they circled and eventually started early just like they did in the previous race.

Hopefully the fact that anyone can check the PHRF ratings and see exactly who we're talking about will shame them into starting the race on time next week and from here on out?  Seriously, is a decent watch too expensive?

Kevin--
Can you delete outdated useless threads like this--really, I am talking about the thread.

Hey, I could delete it but given that I added Jack Spithill for the Heald and we took first and Cherlyn is crewing pretty regularly on Stinger this thread is great advertising for the Crew Finder...
