We need to get a head count to the StFYC

:: Please check your calendar for Sunday November 15 and
:: let Nick know if you can attend this gathering at the
:: StFYC.
::
:: :: There will be a memorial for Tom Baffico on Sun Nov 15
:: :: from 1pm-4pm in the Chart Room at the StFYC. All friends
:: :: and acquaintances of Tom are welcome especially those
:: :: from the Snipe, Express 27 and Open 5.7 fleets. If you
:: :: have some Tom sea stories please bring them along too.
:: :: Tom started racing as a teenager on Lake Merced in San
:: :: Francisco, participated in the St Francis junior
:: :: program, crewed on big boats including for Tom
:: :: Blackaller and then was on the UC Berkeley college
:: :: sailing team. He also raced a Snipe during those years.
:: :: After a long break from sailing, he started racing an
:: :: Express 27 in the mid 1990s and joined the Open 5.7
:: :: fleet in the late 2000s. During this time he crewed on a
:: :: variety of other race boats as well. One sailor had this
:: :: to say:
:: ::
:: :: He was one of the best fellow competitors in the sport
:: :: because you always knew it would be a good race and back
:: :: on the dock good camaraderie no matter whether he beat
:: :: you or you beat him.
