Chicago Area III

[ftbinc]

The SIs for the rally say 10:55. Much different than the NORs and past years

Anyone else notice that the NOR for the NOOD has the first Gun on Friday at 1055? Does anyone know if this is an error as the last 20 years have had us at 0955? The Rally is 0925 Saturday.

Kind of odd.

Thanks.

I noticed. Wondered why the big discrepancy, but it makes getting it together in the AM easy...

Eight bells for Bill Smith. Wooton was fast as fuck on Thursday and Friday.

That news sucks too!

Condolences to the WOOTON family and crew. Really stepped up our game sailing against them. He ran an impressive program. WOOTON will be missed.

This organization is emerging from the movement to save the Lucas Museum in Chicago. Sadly, Friends of the Park ensured that we must lose this institution to another city.

Some of you knew my brother-in-law Marco Lucchinetti (each other's best man). He sailed on Sudpak, Esprit, Esta Es and other boats. He had a massive heart attack last evening and didn't survive it. Eight Bells for a super nice fun guy, who leaves his bride Rasa of 21 years. May the winds be behind you for eternity.

Services are in Morristown, TN on Wednesday. PM me for details.

Glenn, I'm sorry to hear of your loss. Best wishes to you and your entire family

as you all deal with this.

Best Regards,

Radical Move.

Just saw another loss - John Nedeau Sr. passed away not long ago. The guy had done 65 Chicago-Mackinac races and more that 50 Bayview races. Truly a legend.

Anybody want to sail RYF on a J/105 tomorrow? Looks like fun conditions and we're still short a guy.

A great loss to the Great Lakes Sailing community.

This wouldn't be the area 3 thread if George and climey didn't come trolling through it every couple of years...

And imagine if I came with em?!?

Good to see things haven't changed much around here.

I'll be back home July 29th. One of you guys should get me a beercan ride on one of those big cool boats SOTM is talking about.

 

[Grinder]

Roger that, but please be advised: big boat sailors that didn't come up through the dingy ranks are shitty sailors.

Grinder, it's dinghy, not dingy. Kind of kills any credibility.

 

[Grinder]

I killed my credibility about 45 pages ago, not just for misspelling dingeyee

 

[jerseyguy]

My dinky dinghy is dingy.
