HMB???

:: I was imagining that we would all take our trailers down

::
:: :: might be fun but we need to figure out how to keep our
:: :: bottoms clean. We might have to find a way to pull all
:: :: of our trailers down there and leave them at one of the
:: :: Yacht clubs in the area. I see no alternative. Long ride
:: :: with a trailer I fear.
:: ::

:: :: :: I agree...I like the idea of putting together as many
:: :: :: events as possible in the Monterey Bay area... certainly
:: :: :: one of my favorite places to sail. If we are going to
:: :: :: have our nationals down there, it would be very cool to
:: :: :: plan on having events on adjacent weekends down there as
:: :: :: well. More bang for the hassle of trailering the boat
:: :: :: back up.
:: :: ::

:: :: :: -- 1st weekend.  feeder race to Monterey

:: :: ::

:: :: :: -- 2nd weekend.  bouy races around Monterey/Stillwater.  Race to SC... this is likely to be a close fetch, so perhaps we would just make it a "cruise" or something.

:: :: ::

:: :: :: -- 3rd weekend.  Nationals @ SC.

:: :: ::

:: :: :: --race from SC to Monterey (I suppose this could even be the long-distance race for the nationals?).

:: :: ::

:: :: :: -- 4th weekend.  races in Monterey/Stillwater area

:: :: ::
:: :: :: OK, perhaps this is a bit much... many folks may not be
:: :: :: able to do everything. but I think I would do all of
:: :: :: that, if we planned it.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: Anyway, just some more thoughts...

:: :: :: :: If we had the National in Santa Cruz it might be wise &
