Happenings

 

What a beautiful day yesterday was.  Great Weather !  Blue Skies ! Comfortable Temperatures !  And "NICE" winds.  PRYC competed in the 3rd set of races in the Albemarle Challenge Cup.  The Spinnaker Class set sail in the 1st race at 11:00 AM.  The last boat crossed the line in the Cruising Class in the 2nd race at about 4:30 PM.  Yours truly got to motor out with the Race Committee. (We still have the best one around....thanks to Karen Mathews! She trained us well !!!)  Our guys did well.  But let's not get too complacent.  There's one more BIG race at Edenton on Saturday, October 7th.  I have it from the highest authority that at this point we are in the lead to retain the cup...but it's not ours yet.  We need to have just as good a turnout at Edenton as we had at Colington (if not better).  I'm learning more all the time about how the Challenge Cup is scored.  The more boats we have representing us the better our chances are of gaining points.  You don't have to come in 1st or 2nd to add to our lead (although that does help too).  We only had one boat in "A" Class and one in Cruising yesterday.  So go ahead guys (and gals) mark it on your calendar - October 7th, 2006, Edenton N.C.  Let's keep that trophy another year.  Below I am going to list the boats who represented PRYC yesterday and the results of each class for race #1, race #2 and overall.  I'm going to try to list owners/skippers in alphabetical order.  If I mess up I'm sorry.  I tried to get all the information right from the registrations and past info I had.

Sorry for such a  L  O  N  G  email, but I just had to share the news.  DON'T FORGET the dinner meeting Wednesday night (the 13th) at the Prime Sirloin.  Eat @ 6 PM and talk @ 7 PM.  Also the MOA Moth Boat Nationals this weekend.  Contact Greg Duncan if you need any information concerning this special weekend.

 

O.K. enough for now.  I won't bother you any more.  Hope to see you all Wednesday night.  We'll have '05 t-shirts at a reduced rate ($2.) and also '06 shirts ($5) at the meeting on Wednesday.  I'll also have burgees ($15) and lapel pins ($2).  So just come hungry and bring $.

 

See you there
