So what is there to do after Day One of the Texas Challenge Cup?  Come by the GBCA Clubhouse of course!  Everyone will surely want to hear all the exciting events of the day on the bay. 

As the hosts of this years' challenge, the fine staff of GBCA will be preparing a nice, pool-side after party for all of the participants.

Skippers will be given wristbands at the Friday night Skipper's meeting for your crew members.  Additional guest wristbands can be purchased for $10 each.
