We just wrapped up a three day event. It was well organized and attended. Thanks to the primary sponsors, Hunter, H & S Yacht Sales and Voyager Marine. Bob and Linda Beck (s/v Carpe Diem II) were fantastic organizers, and instigators too. It was at the Isthmus cove in Catalina Island. Blue skys and good sailing winds both ways. Some new Hunters there for tire-kicking and a spinnaker demo. Speakers included sponsor's reps, Raytheon, Yanmar, and North Sails. Of special note was Chris Oldham in from Boston with commentary on Hunters offshore.Entertainment was provided by all of us and included a Blind-man's dinghy race and an appetizer contest. There were enough donated raffle prizes that I think everyone got something.49 (I think I heard) boats. This has the makings of an annual event, assuming we don't wear out our sponsors and organizers. Great info, good networking and new friends. Thanks to all of you who had a part in it from a very pleased participant. (P.S.: no one played there cockpit speakers )
