I saw a bumper sticker the other day. It turns out to be an unrelated acronym, but interesting nonetheless

I suppose everyone knows I am pretty much non-religious.  Some would go a bit stronger then that

BUT

please pray for wind this weekend.  The Big Guy does not listen to me.

Stinker does not do well in 2-4 knots.

We are not racing in the HOOD this weekend, however I will be at HYC doing "Dollar-a-minute" chair massage to help with the Texas Blind Sailing Team's fundraising. Hope to see all of you there!

HYC was a hotbed of activity last night. Good to catch up with racer friends from across Texas.  Got a wonderful massage from Karen, who is raising money for Texas Blind Sailing Team (yes, that's a plug).   
Maybe more wind today  :D

I think HYC did a fabulous job with the HOOD.  Getting races off in that fluky wind was not easy. Getting everything square was virtually impossible.  Nevertheless the Division 1 RC did an absolutely great job of getting three races in on Saturday.

Thanks to all for such wonderful work.

Ditto for Division #2.  James Liston was really on the ball and ran three excellent races for the J-22's.
Thanks!
