[...] Kim Cooper recently sent me an e-mail asking if there were going to be enough Shields sailing in the Newport Regatta, July 11 & 12 to warrant a Shields start. Last year Shields were invited, but because only 2 boats had registered the … [...]…

Great race, Jeff! You had good speed and lots of smarts. At one point on that 2nd run, for a brief, shining moment, we had a chance to cross you and take the left gate, but were still not sure that the better pressure on the Newport side wasn’t the better bet. But you called it right, and so well done.

Great to see our kid brother on 108 doing so well!

John, great race, and just super to see how fast you guys are going this year. RIght now, you guys are far and away in line for most improved.
We on Grace also started at the boat, slipping in behind 166 as they were just a bit too early and with too much speed to close the door on us. We cleared to the right as well, and while enjoyed clear air out to the right and looked good on the fleet inshore for awhile, were disappointed when a few, including 232, came out of there ahead of us. We thought the better air was to the west from under the bridge, so rounded tight and jibed right away — only to see you and 2 others stay on starboad and leg out on a nice puff off the Newport show. Game over, sigh!

Apropos of Doing Good and Doing Well, Charlie’s report reminds me that he, as Protest Committee organizer, was also a key part of all those mid-winters meetings! Nice 5th last night!
