Three years ago, Rick started our District 24 Google Group mailing list right after the Tahoe Fleet Champs. It's fitting that just after that same regatta this year, another Tahoe sailor, Nick Pullen, became our 200th Google Group member. Pretty cool!
(And for that, Nick, you win... absolutely nothing. :)
A request for all of you: if you have the attention of your fellow sailors at a skipper's meeting or awards,
ask them to join the Google Group. I'm not sure if our September 10-11 sign-ups for three more sailors came from fleet champs or not, but it didn't hurt to mention the Google Group at that regatta's awards.
Let's get it to 300! More sailors = more fun.
Here's a screenshot from the Google Group admin screen to show what I mean:
Just arrived in Formia, Italy, for Master Worlds, and have been awake since 3 am. On the positive side, getting lots of email done.
At Worlds, we have a total of
455 boats from 38 countries, with nearly 100 in the ILCA 7 Grand Master, my division. Pretty awesome class!
