December went by so fast and now we are getting going on our 2024 Milltown events starting with the First Race of the Season on January 7.  We will meet up at the "clubhouse" for a skipper's meeting at 10, and then Mei Li will get us going at noon out at the B-Mark.  I'm hoping we will get wind on the weekends we race for winter series (not like last year which was ssslllooooowwwww start).  We'll see what Grant and team can bring for us on Sunday.  Plan to meet at "At Large Brewery" after the race for results.  

We'll meet again on Monday evening in the clubhouse at 7 pm for our first Racer's meeting of the year.  We'll go over Milltown Race Booklet information, Registration requirements, Club PHRF membership status (I helped Anthony on Hobo finish up his measurements today), Race Committee sign-up, crew availability, changes to race rules for 2024, proposed changes for Milltown Rules, and determine if the new Solstice single/double race can count as enabling a "throw-out" if the boat races in all the other events (trying to get a new race added to our events.)  If you have any other items for discussion (besides how good I look when I'm on my boat) let me know and I'll get them added to our agenda.  

Then we'll meet again for the annual Awards Banquet on January 13.  "New" venue at the Weyerhaeuser Building and a little change to the awards, but always fun and a good chance to flash that shiny Aluminum plaque for all to see.  Then the following week back at racing again for Winter #2 on Jan 21 (Still need RC for that race.)  Phew....   Busy busy busy
