Look on the front page of the GBCA website or on Regatta Network under archives.

If it's on the front page, it's hidden pretty good.  I just guessed.

A few questions...

• Why is there an entry fee for what is essentially a free rum race?
• How can a junior get the $5 discount when GBCA membership requires that you be over 18?
• What is mark 'T'?
• Competitor's briefing June 15? 2013?

Check out this cool video of the J/22s racing on Clear Lake:

So-so news: Scattered thunderstorms forecast for Saturday.
Good news: It's only Tuesday.

Conundrum Regatta registration is open!
All the info is here!

Who's gonna figure this one out?

For those that may not have heard, I'm saddened to report that Betsie Morlan lost her brave battle with cancer. She passed away at home in her sleep early Sunday morning.
Per her wishes, there will be no funeral. A celebration of life is planned for March 31st, details forthcoming.
Chris requests no flowers or anything, but if you want to do something in Betsie's memory, consider a donation to the American Cancer Society.
Betsie was one of a kind, and will be dearly missed by many (now that's an understatement!).
Fair winds, Betsie.

Maybe next time run it through the JayZ translator.

... In the reviews, we do take in consideration sail age and condition, boat bottom condition, and mechanics of the boat itself.

Do you mean "we do not take in consideration sail age and condition, boat bottom condition, and mechanics of the boat itself." ?
Nor do you take into consideration the skill level of the crew.

daysailor,
Do not go out.

There's a reason why the rum (!) races are the best attended events on the Bay!

Because they are FREE??? 

Here's a gem from 1976. Anybody remember that?

Found:
Someone left a red rain jacket at the Texas Seaport Museum on Saturday.

A couple of amendments to the SIs...
One to replace a non-existent fixed mark with an existing one, and the course changes that it affects:

Another to allow the RC the option of starting the races outside the jetties at 5A.

Leaving registration open for a couple more days.  Just in case you realize how much fun its going to be.
J105s, still time to sign up!
