Transferred the money to pay the January 2005 interest payment.

Trombley (JT) – The Naked Turtle is very excited about working with us on
the NAs.

Cup.

Safety.
We
have a Coast Guard Boat coming over for the event. Also a Sheriff’s Patrol
boat, and four or five Rotary Boats. All will monitor Channel 80.
BBQ
and Awards will be at 6:30.
Phil
Gorman (PG) – OD assignments are working well – people are showing up.
Scoring Discussion
What
does ‘Entered in Series’ mean? Member of club or a series entry?
Could
change the outcome of the series at the end of the season.
DD
– Peter Coleman has not joined, but is racing, when he joins, should we
score him retrospectively…
DD
– Begs the question – Why pay on time?
PG
– One can join later and still get scored. We assume no one will take
advantage of the vagaries of sportsmanship.
Bob
Bunnell (BB) – This should be a topic for the Race Committee meeting.
DD
– Correct.
Chris
Duley (CD) looking at mounting air horn and wind speed indicator on a July 8

– get Andy Sajor or Gene Grafals for electrical help.
