I wanted to float the idea of boats that would like to do a "beer can" race to Port A. My idea would be to start on 29 October at marker #5 @ 1300.
The "finish" would be at the Port A Sea buoy. Boats would take their own finish time, Corinthian rule would apply. For simplicity's sake, we could use PHRF TOD. We could gather for a quiet little drink at the back porch or other suitable venue.

The Sydney Hobart race started this way. Friends making a friendly wager in a pub.

this could be a lot of fun, without the politics or. administrative hassle.

If interested, email me @ yucatan63@hotmail.com. or call me @ 713 203 7852.

Cheers,

Hey Roy, a couple of us started a discussion group on Facebook to weigh our options. I also started a spreadsheet to enter boat data so we can work out destinations that would be feasible for the whole group (or smaller subgroups).

Here's the Facebook page:

And here's the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1K7Ke6pFsFahP2rV_HOZYa9cUHDS9N639kUD99kRkdUg/edit?usp=drivesdk

Anyone (crew or owner) is welcome to join the discussion. Feel free to pass this on!
