Beer Can #14 - July 9

I missed it again! Arrrrgggg.... got caught up with a technical problem at work and had to solve it before I left for the day (which turned out to be 7:30pm), so I could deliver my work that was due that day. I have a new client and just started a new gig last week, so I have to make a good impression, you know!

Anyway, I hear tell that all 7 Merits and all 3 Santanas were out this week. I have no idea who was where, who won, placed, or showed, or what the heck happened. If you have the 411 about this week's race, please write a comment and associate it with this post.

Thanks to Dave G for sending me this picture of his crew (CK, Curt, and Tara). Apparently, Curt's PFD inflated as they were taking down the sails. That's the second one this season! Kerry's was the first.

And thanks to Shirley Burek (often part of Jeff Smith's crew) for this really cool aerial photo of the race shot from her friend's Cessna.

See you next week for sure!

There is a beercan flag for the winning skipper of the race. If you are the winning skipper and would like to fly it when you go sailing, just ask the office for it and you can take it with you. Just be sure to return it when you are done sailing so the next weeks winners can do the same. Remember- bragging rights are only good for the week you win!

Regarding the Santana race, I was on Dave G's boat (along w/ CK and Tara) and we came in second out of 3 Santanas (I believe). The first place boat was the Santana with
the furling jib, which is also a much larger jib than all the other Santanas. The skipper was Brett and the crew was Lisa on the winning boat.
