Time to select a winner. Here are the candidates:
* Watch a little San Francisco Speed Week, then anchor at Treasure Island Sailing Center for afternoon Mount Gay party and tunes from the Cow Bay Cruz Boys.
* Doing a club race at Coronado Yacht Club that’s been going on since the thirties which passes thru the San Diego-Coronado Bridge and up off the USS Nimitz.
* Stacking a Flying Scot to seek either seek Guinness Book of World Records for most people, or to just drink a lot of Guinness.
* Hanging with the DCYC Commodore at the 3rd annual Deep Creek YC raft-up in Dead Horse Bay, Brooklyn NY!
* Helping out at a racing clinic for our sailing youth in Newport, RI;
* Taking a bunch of kids sailing on a Catalina 25 on the Mississippi River who hadn’t sailed before.
* Having a glamour weekend sailing in the rain at the XXXX Gold Cup in Brisbane on Moreton Bay - Australia.
Since we had no stated rules for winner selection, we are winging it here this morning. All good candidates that were all bringing elements that we could appreciate: We love Mount Gay Rum, we love Coronado (great YC bar), we have previously enjoyed stacking folks into a F/S, we are intrigued by any raft up that occurs in a place called Dead Horse Bay, we are all for those that help teach kids, particularly those that grab newbies for a Midwest sail. Of course, then there is the entry from Live-Sail-Die in Australia… enough said. In the end, we went with Mississippi River sail, as that seemed to best embody the spirit of Summer Sailstice, though we gave serious consideration to sucking up to the Commodore from Deep Creek YC. Thanks for all the comments.
