America’s Cup Live Broadcasts This Weekend If you have the time and interest you can tune in to the live broadcasts of the America's Cup series races from Venice this weekend. Quite a treat to hear the familiar "Guys, we got a cluster f**k here" spoken by a highly paid athlete in an Australian accent.
It's an amazing sight with the Cup catamarans racing in the narrow confines of the bay in front of lovely and historic Venice. You can find the races at http://www.youtube.com/AmericasCup. |
You may have noticed it was a little windy lately and one forecast showed gusts to 50 for Saturday. That’s good weather for fresh Sunrise Coffee, pastries and a skipper’s meeting Saturday at 9 am at the Northwest Maritime Center. The Shipwright’s Regatta race date isn’t as certain. Myron and Ace have said that, [...] The first of the 6-series Fall Nightcap Series will be this coming Sunday, September the 18th. The last will be Oct 23rd. Races start at 1:00pm either from the City dock or from a committee boat. Hope to see you out there! To clarify the status of the Wednesday Barcott beer can series, the [...] from Erik Coburn Looking forward to seeing you all this upcoming weekend. If anyone is in need of a place to put down a tent let me know because we should be able to accomodate you. We have been having nice wind all summer and I’m guessing by the law of averages it should be sunny and warm this weekend! Our goal this year is to provide an event with as many fair races as possible at the smallest fee possible. Consider this the Recession Special. During our high school event we got off 19 races. Obviously our courses will be longer for the Youth Circuit but we are hoping to provide as much racing as possible for an inexpensive entry fee. Therefore, we ask that you provide all other meals besides dinner Saturday night. You will pass a Safeway (obvious) on your left as you descend the big hill into town. We also have a Food Co-op a little further down the road on the left off of Kearney Street (next light past the Safeway/McDonald’s light). In town there are many food options. Please let me know via email or phone if you have an Opti Green competitor. Also, please let me know if you are in need of a place to camp. Notice of Race follows the break.
