GBCA Discussion Forum

There used to be this document that had the location and description of various platforms etc in Galveston Bay - does anyone have a copy of this???

And if you do can I get a copy....

Thanks!

This is an unscientific poll to answer a question I am curious about.

Attached is the summary for the 2010 rum race series.

Rum race winners will be awarded during the 2011 Commodore's ball on January 29th.

FYI - There were a total of 59 boats that placed 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th at least one time during the series.

Scored through 8/28.

In the local paper today they reported a shrimp boat that sunk 2 miles northeast of the mouth of the Clear Creek Channel in Galveston Bay. The coordinates are 29 34.488 N and 94 59.3168 W. It said the rigging is sticking up out of the water and the Coast Guard is going to put temporary marks around it. It caught on fire and sank Thursday, July 22nd.

Now that everyone is rested up from Texas Race Week!  

It is time for the I need icy-hot, advil, lots of rum and a divorce regatta.

The NOR is attached to this post and you can find the NOR and registration information on Regatta Network.

Hi all! I am Leigh Ann Hawboldt and for those who do not know me, I am the Fleet Captain of GBCA for 2010. As you all know Jim Powers and company did a great job the last couple of years (Jim would you like your job back?) but I have heard through the grapevine that they want to race this year - go figure!!!

Anyway, I am looking to get a list of names and numbers for those of you that would like to help out with race committee. If you volunteer you are not committing for all of the races, but if you could help out with one or two or all of the events - that would be great. Remember - giving back to your sport, etc, etc. Also if you know someone who does not race and would like to help - they could also get involved!!! Our first event is the Frostbite Regatta on February 20-21.

So - if you are interested, please send me your name and number and if there is any specific event (check the 2010 GBCA Calendar) that you would like to be involved in, please let me know the event. If you have never done race committee, training will be provided........ If you have any questions, please let me know, or my husband Brian (bjsailor@gmail.com).

Thanks all! Looking forward to a great year on the water!
