Weather looks good
I took a look ahead at the weather for next Saturday and it's looking very good at this point. 77 deg; mostly sunny; 20 % chance of precipitation.
I will start posting weather as forecast by NOAA Marine Weather and the Weather Channel on Tuesday with daily updates. Lets hope for another nice day like last year.

Looks like great weather for you guys this weekend. I'll be driving up to Maryland on New Years Day to pick up my "new to me" 1988 Donzi 22 Classic so I can have another boat to tinker with... Catch everyone on the next one.

Boat # 20. Ken and Karen Trelfa will again be joining us in the OL with a boatload out of FMB.
And boat # 21 Dan Davies will be bringing his 38 (?) Fountain CC. His raceboat is still recovering from that collision at the Key West races in November.

We will miss you, Jack but what a cool boat to have. We will watch for more on this one as you tinker with it. Nice. Also put your snow tires on for the drive north. LOL
