Honu Finished at 8:01:25.  Cindy and I had a great sail!

Everyone should try finishing the race around 8 PM.  Seeing all the boats sailing into the sunset is fantastic! 

Honu, our Catalina 320 and us finished Rum Race 2 at 8:04:44.

Honu, a Catalina 320, in its first GBCA race came in dead-ass last!  Yeah!  However, we were only last by half a boat length to another 320!  My wife and I hade fun in the race and at the social afterwards.  Thanks for welcoming us to the GBCA!

Honu, Catalina 320, sail 301.

Okay!  Honu, our Catalina 320, is signed up for the new Cruising class.  I have also registered on the regatta network.  I am ready to finish not in last like icicle #1.  Last to another 320 by half a boat length.  Hey, we're cruisers with a 120 jib, not the huge bed-sheets most are flying.  Also, we add water to the boat before a race to make sure we have water for the head.  All the liquor on the boat also slows us down!

Thanks for the information.  I have already completed the PHRF-GB form, but I didn't send it since it said renewals before January 31.

If we choose, I want my GBCA membership to expire after the Harverst Moon regatta, so I will send my GBCA application at the end of October.

My wife and I want to join the GBCA to participate in the 2010 season (Icicle, Rum, Short-handed, Women's, Harvest Moon, etc.).  When should we join the GBCA?  I don't want to pay the dues in 2009 and have to repay in 2010.

Thanks.
