Texas Race Week 2014 - July 24-26

[ShakenNotStirred]

Have arrangements been made for us to order sandwiches for pickup at the marina as we have in years past?

Yes. This year we will be getting the lunches from Sunflower Bakery.  I'll have an order form for you to complete next week, and submit at the Skippers meeting.
Cost of each lunch is about $8 plus tax $9 including tax, and includes a sandwich, chips, pickle and 2 cookies I think.

Thirteen?  Is that all?  No more? Hmm

[ShakenNotStirred]

Everything is coming together nicely. Just need you to sign up!

Where is Aeolus? Alert? Mojo? Chiron? Athena? Alessandra? Milli? Sea Nymph? Figaro? Firewater? Lil Bit o? Escape Hatch? Royal Crescent? Big D? Sea Gypsy? Wheeee Dog? Be Easy? Terrorist? Good News? Seute Deern? Rowdy? Phoenix? ONO? Picante? Petite Helene? Pingo? Infiniity? Cyrano? Hamburg? Cayuse? The Mule? Cache? La Dame? Joan?

I will have lunch order forms posted soon.  Fill out one for each day you want a lunch on the water (Thursday/Friday/Saturday).  I'll deliver the lunches in the morning to the yacht basin or Harbor House.

Tech t-shirts will be available at the Skippers Meeting, and at the Rum Race party (if there's any left!).  Both short sleeve and long sleeve. 

This is so much easier to plan if we know what to expect, so if you are going to do the race, go ahead and sign up. You won't be disappointed.

Also if you plan to come to the parties, please sign up for an event pass now so we can get a good head count for the caterers, etc.

Thanks!  And looking forward to next week!

We can't do the race but we can probably make it for the festivities - we'll get our tickets soon if we can make it!

  The weather is shaping up to be a perfect TRW! Chris Dees and Wyatt Smith have gone out and found a new mark for a SW wind and two different courses for the race down the beach (long/short). The after-race parties are shaping up nicely. Thursday is at the "Spot" overlooking the Gulf. Friday's party at the "Tsunami Bar" is sponsored by C&C to honor Ed Christie. Bring your best "Ed" story to help Butch Boos honor Ed's legacy. Saturday's award party at the Elissa will be lots of fun with Benno's Seafood and live music. Thanks to our sponsors, the $35 event tickets are a great value.
   I have seen a few boat at SSY getting bottom jobs lately. Aeolus got out of the yard last week. Sea Nymph and Rapide this week. Hopefully they will make a stealth move to join TRW  . They look pretty fast!!
   Come out and join us for this great regatta. We will have "Missy" flying. Sign up today .

One week away and only 38 event tickets sold.  Looks like we might have to downsize this year.
And only 13 boat signed up. Hard to justify all the work and expense for a turnout like that.
But for those that are participating....
This one will be a blast!     (It may be the last one for awhile!) 

Seriously, I have to finalize the catering tomorrow so if you are going to come to the party(s), please sign up!  Thanks!

Lunch order form here.

Fill out one form for each day you want lunches.  Each lunch comes with sandwich, chips, pickle and cookie. Yum!

Submit the form at the Skippers meeting Friday.
If you pay at the skippers meeting with a credit card, don't fill out the CC information on the form; we will swipe your card at the meeting.
We will accept cash, checks, or credit cards.

We will deliver the lunches to the Yacht Basin dock E and Harbor House marina between 0830 and 0900 each morning.  Please be there.

I'm an experienced crew looking for a boat to race with.  I grew up as a Ragnot sailing at HYC for Gus Kolius and have skipper D+ rating.

Tech t-shirts on sale tonight! And they look great!

Big thanks to our own Lauren Christensen for the t-shirt design and the poster design!

T-shirts are only $20 (short sleeve) and $25 (long sleeve).  Bring your cash, checks, and credit cards! 

[Bee]

Will these be available tomorrow at the party?  How about the tumblers?

[Deckhand]

If there are any shirts left after tonite, they will be available after the Rum Race. The Tumbler will also be available tonite and tomorrow until they are gone.

[ShakenNotStirred]

Should be plenty of shirts and tumblers and event passes.  All for sale at the skippers meeting and after the rum race.
