Re: regatta schedule

["Robert Harper" <rharper@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I made it to Florida in two days and back in 2 1/2. I started to  
hallucinate at the Kansas/Colorado border so I thought it a good idea to  
stop for the night. Five days seems a bit long.

I would like to see something more westerly next year. The bulk of the  
boats have come from the west the last two regattas and I'd like to see  
something were we flip flop coast every year like a lot of classes do.  
When the numbers get good enough, we could have a nationals on one coase  
and a NA's on the other and flip them every year. It will be a while  
before I can afford to go to two majors a year but I think I'll have the  
time when the class gets large enough.

Being a fat ass, I'd prefer somewhere it blows. :)
