One other suggestion for July; OYRA fully crewed Half Moon Bay is either the 19th or 26. This is a true long distance race with a party at Half Moon Bay Yacht Club folllowing:

:: July LD/Fun Series Race Suggestion:
::
:: For July I'm advocating Midnight Moonlight on
:: apprioximately the 5th, although, iot could fallon the
:: 12th this year..
::
:: This is a great longer race that is a reverse start
:: catch up. E27s all start together around 4:30 to 5:30 in
:: the afternnoon. The race starts in Racoon Straits off
:: Corinthian and goes around the south tower of the
:: Carquinez bridge. The race usually finishes between
:: 11:30 pm to 12:30 am. The bar at SFYC is open until 2am.
:: We could stay for breakast the next morning.
::
:: Alternatives include the Plastic Classic around the 19th
:: & 20th. There is a fantastic barbeque dinner dance on
:: Saturday night. This is a two race regatta; one each
:: day, that are 10 to 12 miles in length. This year the
:: regatta may be Saturday only; two races back to back.
::
:: The final alternative is the Saturday second Half Opener
:: on the 26th. This race starts at TI, goes around Bonita
:: Bouy and ends at Encinal YC.

:: There is a barbeque/party at Encinal following.
::
:: For LD/Fun Series I'm proposing at least one of these
:: regattas, however, I'm not oppossed to doing two of
:: them.
::
:: Midnight Moonlight is the true Long Distance Race. All
:: have some sort of social function following.
::
:: For Real Fleet Series Simpson Regatta has been late in
:: this month (last wekend) in the past.
::
