Kick off party March 12 at HSH yachts in Watergate marina 2 pm. Notice of race is posted on the website www.racetotheborder.com
Will be coming out for this one!
We have secured a great restaurant to cater the party. we will have excellent food.
Is the name of the restaurant a secret? This would be a nice place to give them some credit.
Pomodoro's Pasta & Pizzeria will be catering the party. Hope to see everyone there. Don't forget to bring your checkbook to buy some shirts.
Xavier and the rest of the Race to the Border team have lined up great food and drink for the party this Saturday and the National Weather Service is calling for "HIGHS IN THE LOWER 70S" so things are shaping up for a not to be missed kick-off party.

Latest update:
We have spend the weekend in South Padre completing all the arragement for the race. We met with LMYC board members as well as Sea Ranch harbor master to make sure we are ready to welcome all participants to the race.
The city and major of Port Isabel will host the brunch on Wednesday June 8th. and this will become the Major's Brunch in the future.
BIG CHANGE - The Sheraton hotel is no longer the Sheraton but has change hands and now is an Omni hotel called The Pearl. The events will remain the same but we welcome OMNI hotels to this race. Make suree to mention Race To The Border when you make reservations, and act fast as rooms sells quickly and the deadline for a special rate is May 1st.
Correction, from last post is the Mayor's brunch that promises to be a major event.

Before the start you might want to check out the AIA Sandcastle Competition
http://www.aiasandcastle.com/event--map.html (http://www.aiasandcastle.com/event--map.html)
It's $10 parking but a pretty cool event if you've never seen it before...
Too bad there isn't a web cam so we could watch the start.
Any spot tracker links to share?
The only one we had. Is not working.
Here is an update.
06:00 Java Knight dropped out yesterday. Apparently not enough wind. They are heading home and they have seen a lot of boats under motor heading south.
Kevin texted last night that Kenai finished at something like 20:12:02. They have since reversed course and are heading back for a stop at PA before returning to LYC. He says they should be in PA sometime afternoon.
The awards have been awarded the booze has and is being drunk, so why don't WE have results?
Because the hangovers have yet to be recovered from? :)

Thanks Kevin. Glad I chose not to run Stinger. Would have been miserable.
Congrats to Kenai in the Spin Class. Looking forward to a play back from KB.
Where can I find our trophy for RTTB 2011?
