Tomorrow we are racing the Great Pumpkin

All righty then

Tomorrow we are racing the Great Pumpkin

Be at the boat no later than 9:00am!

We have three races on Saturday—so, costumes might now be best for the race. The actual costume contest is at the club later in the evening.

Don’t forget to bring a lunch for Saturday. We shall have plenty of water on board, and we shall provide sandwiches for Sunday’s pursuit race.

Don’t forget to bring your sleeping bag if spending the night


We will have beer and snacks on board for after the race, but by all means if any of you want something stronger; feel free to bring that along too (and plenty to share with the crew).

We are planning on having dinner, and more drinks, later that evening at the club.
